Nothing against Cherry keys, they're WAY better than some of the other c*** out there, but their feel and durability just isn't up to an Alps key.

As for click -- ideally it shouldn't be too loud, but honestly, I'm more concerned about getting a key that feels right and lets my hands and wrists survive. That means some level of click.
Charlie:

I'll definitely look into it. One of the "issues" for me with the small boards is that I use the number keys ALL. THE. TIME. For my admin stuff. Estimates, Quotes, invoices, accounting. Using the number keys that are in different places might drive me bonk--more bonk than usual--but I'm going to go look.
