I must admit, during work from home I have enjoyed using a keyboard far louder and more satisfying than anything I'd consider using in an open plan office. It'll stay here, and be another reason to spend at least a couple of days a week at home for the foreseeable future.
At home I have a Matias Tactile Pro, which uses a kind of modern take on alps switches. I love the feel but man, that thing is a gatling gun. Borderline ridiculous.
At home I use buckling springs (Unicomp model M style plugged into an iMac) - I live alone and can make lots of typing noise. In the office its a Filco with some color Cherry switch I forget but its a lot better than the keyboard that came with the box they supply.
It's funny, because some of my colleagues are thinking of switching the other way around, at least during video conferencing. They have to mute themselves to do a quick Google search, otherwise you have this annoying sound when you talk.
That's interesting. The etiquette where I work has sprung up to keep yourself muted unless you're the one talking, and if you're talking you're not typing, so it's less of an issue.
The etiquette is roughly similar, it's just that sometimes the person talking is also the one needing to get more info, e.g. open the relevant ticket or something. It's certainly not impossible to mute while they do the search, but apparently it's annoying enough that they have thought about changing the keyboard.
