quiet!!!

My computer is in our bedroom. It's a big bedroom with lots of room. But when Zoe is having a pain day the clack-clack-clack of the keyboard and the click-click-click of the mouse is too much. I've been trying to find a quiet solution. I tried all the keyboards at OfficeMax and bought the quitest which was a Logitech. No quiet enough. It was also cordless which I realized was a mistake when I started feeding it batteries. I finally found a quite keyboard and a quiet mouse.

It's a Kensington SlimType Keyboard. There are PC and Mac versions. It uses the type of keys found in laptops. Quiet and compact.

The mouse is also a source of noise. There is now a Quiet Mouse. Both keys as well as the scroll wheel are silent. With both the keyboard and mouse it helps to have a pad. The keyboard and mouse have passed the Zoe test. My search has ended. As a bonus, they are both USB. No more batteries.
