I think it was the M b/c I used to enjoy making the keys make that nice satisfying sound and so I began to type far more loudly, as if each keypress was intended to make noise.

They make an identical sound however hard you type, since it's caused by the instantaneous buckling of a spring.

true, but the keys then make a resonant sound which sounds best if you strike with a strong, swift motion.

Same here (albeit with a somewhat newer model of IBM keyboard). I switched to one of the new Apple keyboards, and I've been recovering ever since. Pity the keyboard layout is so damn unusual on this thing, though. Configuring it for Linux was a real pain.
