Question: in open offices, what's the consensus of the etiquette regarding the use of loud keyboards?

Loud keyboards are incredibly annoying and inconsiderate in an open office or any other kind of shared space

Open offices are incredibly annoying and inconsiderate to those trying to do real work on proper keyboards (and trackballs).

Why do people who use laptops during their daily train commute seem to type REALLY LOUDLY!??

My colleague who sits beside me is okay with it :)

There are no rules in my office. No one would use "blues", though. Plenty of people, including me, have mechanical keyboards around - just not audible ones. Of course they would give you the "classical" caps hitting the chassis sound, but that is quite normal and acceptable where I work.

Probably a dick move, depending on the ambient noise level of the office.

Typewriters are still worse, though.
