      Hey guys,

      Do you have any recommendations for quiet keyboard and mouse that don't irritate the ears?

      I bought the Logitech M330 mouse recently and its been working wonders, don't really like that it is wireless though, gets de-synced from time to time.

      I don't know how sensitive you are, but the slimmer keyboards are a bit quieter in general I think? Those that are almost completely flat? I myself use a laptop, so I'm afraid I can't give you any specific examples though. Good luck!

      Yes, Island Style Keyboard is the term for slimmer keyboards I think. Most. if not all laptops have these.

      This is the thread what I've hoped for. Typical membrane keyboards would be absolutely endurable save the ones that tries to imitate an mechanical keyboards. I really wanted to have mechamical keyboards but I just gave up.

      As for the mouse, it seemes that every mouse that can be seen in a store is extremely clicky and loud. So I use the logitech G1 which they stopped producing many years ago. It's such an awesome mouse for its quietness and the way it feels when you grip it. Many people would still remember this one.
