Silent Keyboard?

I bought a plain old 104 key Logitech keyboard for my brother's computer a few months ago and thought it was pretty quiet. I think it was $15-20.

I'm curious though, you say the sound of the keyboard is annoying when your brother is using it. Is it that loud when YOU use it? If it's quiet for you then it is your brother's typing technique that needs fixing. No keyboard will be silent if the user is pounding on the keys. Not to mention that using too much force jars the joints in your fingers and you can end up with repetitive stress injuries and arthritis at a young age.

My girlfriend always complained when I was up late playing games on my old keyboard, she said it was too loud (although I didn't notice). Recently I built my new system and picked up a $15 keyboard from a local store in town, and I'll be damned if there isn't a world of difference. I placed them right next to each other just to check out the noise difference, the old one was so much louder than the new one.

I'd suggest just shopping around to some local stores, they shouldn't mind if you pull the keyboard out of the box and mash a few keys. You can find a quiet one for under $20 I'm sure.
