I just came across an internet posting at

<http://minimalmac.com/post/942415344/twenty-years-one-keyboard-guest-post-by-dave-caolo>

where

the author exults over the sounds made by the Apple Extended Keyboard
which he has used for some twenty years. Maybe I'm alone but the last
thing I want a keyboard to do is make clicking sounds when being typed
upon, and this is one of my reasons for so liking the Apple aluminum
keyboards, the amost total quietness as one types.

How do others feel?

I feel amazement that a keyboard is so versatile that it has storage,
video, printing, and all the other things implied by the crossposting.
Heck, my newsreader won't even let me reply without trimming the list
down to less than half of its original size. :-( (Looks like maybe
someone's reader acidentally crossposted to every Mac group he reads; I
doubt it was intentional.)

Oh, and while I'm pretty fond of my Apple aluminum keyboards, I do well
appreciate a keyboard that lets me know when it has positively
registered a keypress. The main things I like about the aluminum
keyboards are their combination of being lightweight yet sturdy, and the
ease of cleaning. Hmm. Speaking of which, looks like I ought to clean
this one again soon.

The thing I despise about the aluminum keyboards is not being able to
get a wireless one with the layout of the wired one.

You're definitely not alone. One of the things I like most about Apple's
latest keyboards is that I can type at work without everyone around me
hearing every single key click I make! : )
