how to make a loud keyboard quiet
first, threaten typer*** and loud keyboard* with forcible ejection out of the nearest window.
sounds like:
second, when (if?) that proves to be a non-viable solution due to laws/permanent screens, consult internet.
third, locate alternate solution** of ”o-rings.” order immediately.
fourth, when the “o-rings” arrive not a moment too soon, create key puller with two paper clips or whatever bendable wire you might have lying around and pull keys off.
note: the spacebar, enter key and most longer keys might be connected by extra stuff so unless you really dislike loud typer for reasons beyond loud typing it is not recommended that you try to take those keys off, but you can shove a bunch of o-rings under to slightly dampen the noise
pro-tip: take keys off one row at a time and keep in order. or don’t and replace out of order. depends on anger level/whether keyboard has letters on it.
fifth, add hot pink o-rings to stub thing on bottom of each key.
sixth, replace keys. enjoy reduction in most annoying noise on planet.
DONE.
