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?

Model M in the attic? Sell it, they are valuable. Mine's in front of me. But get off my lawn, the keyboards used as terminals to IBM mainframes back then had a small speaker inside that gave a loud click when you typed because the click of the key was considered not loud enough. You could turn the speaker off, but back then people expected a keyboard to sound like a typewriter.
I like silence, but these days, with the fashion for open plan offices, the racket of people talking and phones ringing makes mouse and keyboard noises irrelevant. Where are these people who demand a silent mouse coming from? A Trappist monastery?
