quiet sneaky-beaky keyboards

So I recently got a new quiet mouse for work and home, which works brilliantly, barely any sound out of me at work at all!....until you reach my keyboard.

 

Currently at home I've got a wireless logitech keyboard+mouse (K260), and I've been looking at 60% and "65%" keyboards (love those tiny things). However, looking around I'm struggling to find a UK ISO keyboard (or any euro iso, since I can swap keys) that's compact and quiet. I'm temporarily using a Mac keyboard, and it's nice, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the keys and while thin, it's pretty long....

 

 

Anyone out there got a quiet, compact ISO keyboard they would recommend? There's got to be a decent one out there!...right?

Let's just all take the time to appreciate the words "sneaky" and "beaky".

I'll give it a look-see,  i'm sure I could get used to a different feel, as long as touch typing isn't impossible (I'll admit the apple keyboard is easier for that than I expected).

 

those rubber spillproof ones 

Any names, or should I just look for generic ones? I'd like something that'll last decently, and I thought the type you mentioned had flat-style keys like the apple keyboard below the rubber...?

I think the cheapest way you could get a good, quiet iso board would be a ducky shine mini in cherry reds/blacks, if you wanted mechanical too...

But they're impossible to touch type on...

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)

You could get one of those laser keyboards that projects the keyboard onto the table, that you can only touch type on, but those would be terrible to type on

The keyboard really isn't flat, the keys are elevated, so you do get to press the buttons. They're not impossible to type on, but they do make your hands get tired really quick, cause you have to use more force to push down on the keys. It's not a replacement to a regular keyboard. I know, cause I have one.
