I suppose it depends on your 'touch' too. Unless I'm going at warp speed
(which is pretty difficult on a Newt keyboard), I generally PRESS the keys,
as opposed to BANGing them down sharply as I see many folks do at a
keyboard. Kinda like the difference between squeezing the trigger and
pulling the trigger, for those folks who've done any shooting... Although,
since I learned to type on a manual typewriter, you'd think my touch would
be just the opposite...
But yes, I can see that if you tried to operate the Newt keyboard too
sharply, you might make more noise than necessary.
