Hello everyone,

I am currently setting a small office (6-8 people) and I'd like to get some nice keyboards. However having that many people typing on a nice clickly keyboard will be a bit loud. And, while tempting, I don't have the time to assemble 8 keyboards myself. So I am asking you good folks for a recommendation on where I can purchase some pre-assembled keyboard with some quiet switches like https://divinikey.com/products/haimu-x-geon-hg-red-silent-linear-switches. The store would need to be able to ship to Europe at a reasonable price.

Thank you

Imagine what life was like when people used typewriters.

Those IBM Selectrics, especially. Hit keys (mostly) silently, hit Return, and that little ball goes BBBRRRAAAPPP! across the page all at once.

That said, I've been in offices where they used all IBM equipment (including Type-M keyboards) and after a while you don't hear the typing. That might be because you're going deaf, though.
