suffering from hearing problem but also nerves and muscles hypersensitivity (ulnar, tendinitis etc ...), I bought this keyboard hoping it could help me in the long search for a painless keyboard at striking and perfectly silent. lost! Certainly, silent, there's nothing to say it's quiet. but the force necessary to write in the fingers is much stronger than the keyboard I used until now (type laptop computer). I dropped :( ... write a sentence was untenable.
