Hello Ian,

thanks for reaching out! :) I can imagine how a clicky keyboard can erode your nerves if you don't enjoy that particular sound. But there are many options, smooth, lubed, silent switches for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15utdCplTo0

That said, I guess it's best to use whatever you're used to and comfortable with. After the disasterous buttefly keyboards Apple finally saw sense and brought back their scissor switch keyboards on the laptops. While I still prefer mechanical keyboards over any laptop keyboard (even the fantastic ThinkPad keyboards), hardly anyone does better laptop keyboards than Apple I guess. :)

Take care!
