    They can just go back to dome keyboard that don’t make any sounds. Mechanical keyboard hype is overblown.

      Might be for you, but for whatever reason my brain really, really hates the tactile feel of rubber domes.

      I’ve also always had strong issues with certain textures/tactile feels in general

        Yeah, rubber domes suck. They are way too mushy.

        I hate how the actuation force changes a lot during a key press.

      The article addresses exactly this suggestion.

      Remember, the attack model proved highly effective even against a very silent keyboard, so adding sound dampeners on mechanical keyboards or switching to membrane-based keyboards is unlikely to help.

        What about a touchscreen keyboard? The layout wouldn’t have to change, and there needn’t be any sounds at all.

        I know it’s shitty but for high security purposes like on a bank terminal or something, shitty but secure trumps nice but insecure, right?
