Some O-Rings will remedy the noise of bottoming out. And that makes up half of the noise. If I was working somewhere, I'd totally get blue board just to piss people off.

Also welcome to WalletHack. If you have any money, consider it gone. If you have any property, considered it sold/traded and transformed into keyboards.

I use my Model M at work, and that's louder than any of my Blues boards. I have yet to have anyone complain to me about the noise.

Depends on how loud the normal noise is round your office and how tolerant your colleagues are. But in most cases, I wouldn't say they are super loud.

Why are you worried? That's one of the benefits of mx blues.
