Linear Keyboards

Linear keyboards are really nice. They are really smooth and can be silent. There is no click or bump like with other keyboards. When using most linear keyboards, you don't need to press the key all the way down as the input happens earlier. Thus you can reduce the travel distance of your finger and (slightly) increase your typing speed. I actually have a linear keyboard and it can be extremely loud. Like if I'm playing a really intense game, you'll hear very loud clicks from me completely pressing the keys down at high speeds. I personally don't mind the noise, but it could definitely annoy your roommates.
