Title: Silent Keyboard EX

It's probably not anything special to type on but it looks like it'd be an interesting keyboard to poke around in to find out how they've quietened down the keys, as a lot of mechanical keyboards could use some quietening down. From the picture it's obvious they've used grease on the keywells but they appear to have a metal plate underneath the keycaps, which wouldn't have been my first guess.

Do any of the collectors on here own one of these or it's predecessor? I'd love to know what's inside.

That looks to be the polar opposite of a mechanical keyboard. Quiet, rubber dome, and inexpensive lol
