My 26-year-old Model M has mellowed out quite a lot, actually, though I'll admit I can still hear myself type.
I have a new-old-stock Model M I bought as backup, and with a fresh set of keys it's a lot louder. Well, I had that one til my wife discovered it and it's hers now.
Then there's the looks-like-an-M-but-quiet-keys one I'm using at work, cast aside after a coworker's departure, but I find I actually have to type *harder* than on a real M to reliably have keystrokes register. The "8" key is particularly weak; someone must have been bashing away at way too many asterisks in C code.
Could have been wildcards in regex or shell scripts or command lines. -- Len Sorensen
