Have to type slowly and softly as my brother's asleep. Very irritating. |

I don't know about silent, but some keyboards are fairly quiet. If I remember correctly Apple keyboards are (or at least used to be) very quiet |

TRacy I try not tolaugh and end up sniggering which is worse. Or i say things like OMG when things get rough on here, then i have to explain why i'm saying it. OR i get on a trail and i start talking myself thru it , he's always telling me i'm going mad keep telling him I'm already there |

you can buy a thin spongy thingy to put on the keyboard which will help keep it quieter. Its really funny while putting this answer on this thread I typed more quietly then I usually do LOL normally I just bang the keys, very strange. Pat x |

Well I've tried with and without and definitely prefer it without - in fact I'd prefer never to use one again |

I read about a really cool keyboard a few months ago. It was a red laser projection of a keyboard. It meant you could use it on any flat surface and the movement of your fingers over the projection translated into keyboard characters. Crista |
