I used the original IBM Series M buckling spring keyboard and I've never used anything as good since. Now I'm using a Razer Blackwidow with Cherry blue switches and while it has been pretty good, I wouldn't recommend it.

The blue switches have fairly good response -- tactile and sound -- but not good enough. The keys are too sensitive to presses, printing when touched lightly instead of most of the way down the stroke. And some of the keys are doubling. I have enough typos of my own without having gratuitous ones thrown in.

I'm looking at Unicomp, which sells modern keyboards with buckling spring keys. While the Cherry blues already have people in the building commenting about the noise, I hope to reach the people in the street when I get my new keyboard.

Did you select browns because thet're less noisy than blues?
