SILENT mouse and Keyboard

[Adcurium]

I'm in need of a new wireless keyboard and mouse, but I would also like a silent or quiet mouse. Any suggestions?

Apple Mouse. Their keyboard is nice too. Or the Apple Trackpad if you prefer laptop style input.

The apple mouse will work with a PC also?

Mind if I ask why?

I assume you have your own good reason(s), and I'd like to know what they are.

Me, I prefer a bit of tactile and auditory feedback, so that I know I've hit the key. (I really don't like typing on an iPad screen.) But even this late-model Apple cordless keyboard and mouse I'm using at present makes enough racket for my wife to hear it from the other side of the house.

I don't know much about brands and features but wanted to day for PC stuff tigerdirect.com has a lot of computer components and often has good sales so check them if you get a chance.

Well, it's the opposite of silent, but I really recommend a mechanical keyboard. They're constructed differently from a typical keyboard, having a separate switch underneath each key, as opposed to a standard keyboard's circuit board that connects to all the keys. They don't come cheap, though, I paid a pretty penny for mine, but it's far superior to any keyboard I've ever used before. I also think, but I'm not sure, that they're more spill resistant than standard keyboards, as I once spilled coffee all over it once, and water another time, and experienced no decrease in performance. On a good one, you can press more than one key at the same time and get a response from each of them, but the order in which they register is not always the same.

I'm afraid I can't recommend a mouse, I have a fairly basic left handed mouse that I'm very happy with, but that only applies to a small portion of consumers.
