People who type on loud clacky keyboards in open place workspaces are psychopaths. The keyboard is not balanced on the desk as well, so it rocks when being smashed by its user, adding to the wall of sound.

I've switched from my ear buds to my over-ear headphones, let's see how we go blocking it out.

mechanical keyboards are fucking fantastic and do not belong in the workplace

I hate my work keyboard for that reason. It's not mechanical, it's just crap.

In office I type in the laptop. Nice and smooth and quiet
