My 26-year-old Model M has mellowed out quite a lot, actually, though
I'll admit I can still hear myself type.

I have a new-old-stock Model M I bought as backup, and with a fresh set
of keys it's a lot louder.  Well, I had that one til my wife discovered
it and it's hers now.

Then there's the looks-like-an-M-but-quiet-keys one I'm using at work,
cast aside after a coworker's departure, but I find I actually have to
type *harder* than on a real M to reliably have keystrokes register.  The
"8" key is particularly weak; someone must have been bashing away at way
too many asterisks in C code.
