  Is that the
same as the PC and the PS/2 keyboards? Those things are
terribly noisy, they give me a headache. I like the click, but it has a
high-pitched overtone.  
 It does?  I have an old PS/2 keyboard connected to my P200, and never
 noticed anything high-pitched.  The space bar is a bit louder then the rest 
Was Max using a PS/1 keyboards?  Very easy to twist the whole 
keyboard and it's thin, more easily to radiate noise.  Tried the 
heavies ones that feels like weighs over 1 tonne PS/2 type?

Clicks and viberating springs, hitting sides of the key guides when 
it bows under suddenly (they're under compression and very stiff 
spring wire.) does generate hi-freqs.  Sometimes I hear a high 
pitched sproooing when snapped back to inital position.

But that doesn't bother me, but without good feedback I get real all 
weird by feelings (shaking hands and not able to get "contact 
made!") and frustrated at typing errors.
