Given some of the comments in another recent thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12828398 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12828398) your coworkers just might kill you for using a loud keyboard (but given the construction of an IBM Model M, you will probably be able to defend yourself with it).

  Been carrying an MX blue keyboard from workplace to workplace. Not a peep of complaint from a coworker yet.

    They must not be complainers. They probably hate you in secret.

      Agree. Model M / Cherry blues are too loud for any shared space. Even Topre switches are probably kind of annoying, but it's a lower-pitched sound so not as noticeable.

Because it's a prototype, we went for existing displays and a 60% was the closest. Besides, you for your a 104 key keyboard and the price just doubled. Can't PgUP be remapped, it's a dynamic keyboard.
