Says who? I very much prefer the audible feedback as long as I'm not in a shared space; many people do. And not everyone on the planet is a programmer; people who deal with lots of numbers (e.g. accountants) need the 10-key pad. In fact, my wife carries a USB 10-key for when she needs to work on a laptop lacking one. If you're looking for a quiet keyboard, look for one with Cherry Brown keys (if you like tactile feedback) or Cherry Silent Black or Silent Red keys if you want the quietest. There are lots of folks making good quality, choose your key, keyboards.
