Yeah, I suspect the coworkers brought in their own mechs which makes them at fault here. Mechanical keyboards are loud enough to disturb others in a private office setting, I can't imagine hearing multiple nearby with no walls.
- artursapek 11y agoTry working in midtown Manhattan! The street noise will make a swarm of mechanical keyboards sound like a lullaby. I work in an open office of ~20 people and did exactly what you described - I brought my own keyboard to replace the standard issue flat Apple keyboard my company purchased in bulk. It has made a big difference in my typing speed. In fact there's four of us in here with mechanical keyboards and nobody seems to mind. But maybe that's because one of them is the CEO :) We've honestly never had it come up as a problem.
- PascLeRasc 11y agoHuh, that's cool that mechanical keyboards are that well-spread. I thought it was a fairly niche internet hobby I stumbled into, because I've had to be the mech evangelist among my friends.
