Is there a quiet keyboard? I would like a keyboard that can not be heard when I talking to someone on the phone.

I have an old keyboard from an IBM XT or maybe an IBM midrange S/34 system console keyboard. It has felt underneath each key that deadens the sound. It makes kind of a dull thud sound.
There are flexible keyboards that make very little noise.
I used a google search and found a lot of hits. One came up at Amazon.com.
I keep trying to do something about my procrastination but I keep putting it off until tomorrow.

If there are Staples/Office Depot/Office Max near you, stop by and try the replacement keyboards, see which one has the combination of touch and quietness you prefer.
Back in the 1980's, when I was a traveling developer, I had an NCR keyboard, made in Germany, with separate physical switches for each key, and a switch on the back to be compatible with XT and AT. It was quiet, too! I hope you'll get some recommendations here for current soft touch and quiet models.

Another option: It'd be quiet, but as a touch-typist I couldn't stand having to look at the keys regularly to make sure your hands were in the right places.
There are also flexible silicon keyboards such as I imagine that'd be like going back to the ol' Sinclair Spectrum!
