In need of a Quiet PC Keyboard

I am on conference calls that I participate for at work from home and need a couple of quiet keyboards (USB) so I can take notes efficiently right to my PC vs. klanking away and getting reminded to mute my phone constantly. Any ideas or brands you all suggest?

I think FP would recommend the Dell Quiet Key keyboards, they do seem to be pretty quiet.

Yeah, the Dells are quiet... & squishy which I hate, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I use the Dell Multimedia keyboard. It's quiet but has a nice feel.

It was actually just a joke "Apple". They are super quiet though. Not sure if you will like the key labels though. They are labled for OSX.

I think this is probably more of what your interested in

I tried playing around with the Apple keyboard at the apple store last night and I liked it alot except for the lack of the familiar labels, does anyone one if they directly map to windows functions? (i.e. CTRL, Windows Key and Alt, etc)

Yes they will map normally. I have vista ultimate installed on my macbook via boot camp and only took me a few seconds to get used to the keys being not windows native. Only ones really affected are the Ctrl and alt keys. The "command" key is the windows key as well.
