Quiet keyboard?

Options
My typing is annoying hubby as he's watching telly. we have the computer in the living room so I can keep an eye on it if there are any kiddies in the house.
But I tend to bash the keys hard as I type :o;)
Is there a quiet keyboard I can buy?
Not a wireless one though, I had a wireless mouse for a bit and it was carp, kept having to replace batteries.

    This Apple keyboard is great:

    A little bit on the expensive side, but it's very quiet, easy to type on, and it looks gorgeous. It works fine on PCs.

    That is a beauty but I haven't got a Mac?

    It says sys requirements,
    Mac computer with available USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
    Keyboard software update


    It's dead sexy though.

    It's works just fine with a PC. I've used it with Windows installed on my Mac.

    PC World used to sell Apple keyboards. If they still do, you could always ask them if you could try it out.

    ETA: It has some keys for using iTunes and the like. I'm not sure how they would work in Windows, Apple do have Windows keyboard drivers though.
