I’m looking for an extremely quiet wireless keyboard for our client conference room that also needs to have the wireless connection encrypted. I’ve tried the Logitech MK520 but apparently it’s too loud. We had the HP Wireless Elite v2 Desktop which was quiet enough but the connection dropped at times (only 10 ft away from the PC) and the wireless connection isn’t encrypted.
Any suggestions? If I can find a wireless keyboard that is as quiet as a laptop that’d be great (with wireless encryption). I don’t think management would like a laser projection keyboard either.
Logitech K750 is pretty quiet IMO and has the bonus of being solar powered. Pretty much any mechanical keyboard with dampeners (little o-rings that keep the key from bottoming out) will be pretty quiet as well.
imo, you may need a silicone type kybd for the conference/office space the silicone is a natural cushion that suppresses the noise factor in key strokes when ferociously recording the meeting or conference details
Another vote for the Logitech K750 solar wireless keyboard. I’ve got two: one at home and one at work. They are super quiet. I’ve had them both for about 2-3 years and I only just recently replaced the rechargeable battery in the one at work. They last a long time.
I would go with a Bluetooth not a wireless keyboard as they have the security of the Bluetooth connection and they have a little more range and are not affected by variable such as cordless phones as much as the wireless keyboards since they usually operate on the same frequency as cordless phones. Also if there are other ppl using similar wireless keyboards they can interfere with the connection since they will be definitely using the same frequency
As someone who shares a house with a touch typist I can recommend Apples aluminium keyboards - the quietest we tried after many tests. Not cheap but worth it for the lack of background noise…
Another vote for the Logitech K750. I’m using the Mac version. The Logitech Unifying Receiver has 128-bit AES encryption. Also using a compatible mouse, the Logitech M310.
Hi there, OP- just wanted to let you know that TigerDirect does carry quite a few of the brands and models that were mentioned in this thread, at competitive prices.
Thanks for your responses. I went ahead and ordered the Logitech K780 and the K800. The K780 is advertised as a quiet keyboard and I read many reviews on the K800 as being quiet as well. I wasn’t interested in a solar powered keyboard, especially when the conference room is dark most of the time (in the middle of the bldg with no natural light). I’ll update this after we tried both out (will be sending one back).
