SoylentNews is people

from the Silence-is-Golden,-but-this-Mouse-isn't dept.

Since many people are claiming that small noises are a pain, Logitech set out to design mices which are about 10dB less clicky than the usual ones.
At around 25dB, the M220 Silent/M330 Silent Plus are probably near the noise floor of most office spaces, and surprisingly not a premium product (under US$30).

That doesn't sound like a bad thing for people with small places and light-sleeping partners either. Are Soylentils really bothered by Joe-the-spreadsheet-clicker, or do you believe in counter-offensive?

    But if your cow-orker is Ethanol_fueled, the reduction in noise will not even be noticeable.

    Doesn't Eth create mouse clicks by ramming his angel-hair-diameter whiskey dick into the holes in the mini-DIN port sequentially at high speed?

      Redefines bit banging [wikipedia.org] a little. Impressive timing ability, for sure!

        Huh? No, I was trying to see if I could post the kind of thing Eth does, but about Eth. And you have to admit it's a hilarious mental image :D

          Ah, ok. You missed the slurring his ethnicity part though.

            I have no idea what ethnicity he is, honestly. I don't care either.

              He's apparently an ethanologist.
