The original IBM keyboards were fine for me I touch type at 60wpm+.

As long as you didn't need to use the skinny shift, alt, return or backspace
keys and as long as you didn't have to share the room with anybody else who
might not appreciate the 90db of clatter.

I don't recall my keyboard producing anything like that level of
extraneous noise, but then I pressed the keys as required rather than
bashing it with my fists.

You couldn't make that keyboard any louder if you were a 50lb typist. It
make full volume all by itself. TICKETY TICKETY TICKETY TICKETY
