That's pretty quiet really, and it sounds a bit like something wiggling around in a pile of leaves, or at least it does on this end.

I had a scissor-key type board a while back but the entire board was very flat and it was really hard to find the spacebar because it didn't stick up and out of the keyboard casing. I used it when I needed quieter typing than that produced from buckling springs or blue cherries.

As I mentioned in another of your threads, I almost bought this exact Kensington once, but got the Kensington Ci73 instead. It's probably the quietest rubber dome board that I have now, so I use it when quiet is required.

Thanks for the audio clip.

That leafy sound (I think you just coined a new term in the realm of keyboards) is a result of my poor recording apparatus, and the fact that I've been playing way too much Typing of the Dead lately, which leaves me typing for dear life so as not to be killed by zombies or undead beasts. Now that I think about, TOTD is probably excellent training for people on a deadline. Type you helpless bastards, type!

Once I transition to buckling spring boards, I'll probably have to keep the kensington around for times when loud typing is inappropriate, as it's relatively quiet from a few feet away.

If I have a better microphone at my disposal when I update the review, I'll try to include a better audio clip. This second attempt is closer to reality, but the board's "leafiness" is exaggerated.

cheers
