Thanko has developed a solution for an essential problem with the keyboard, the noise factor.  Ever want to stay up late and try to get work done or play games and not annoy your roommate or spouse? Well this seems like the perfect solution.  This noiseless keyboard which appears to only be available in Japan at the moment, produces around 30.2dB of noise.  Now your roommate or spouse will be able to sleep while your up all night playing World of Warcraft.  If you live in Japan, or if you don’t mind having Japanese characters all over your keyboard you can pick up one here.
