Gaming peripherals expert Mionix is giving final touches to its latest offering to professional gamers, the Mionix Zibal 60 mechanical keyboard. The Zibal 60, we're hearing, is going to be a high-end mechanical keyboard designed for gamers. Unlike many mechanical keyboards that offer little more than the standard keyset, Zibal will offer backlit illumination for each key. Each key will be backed by a Black Cherry MX illuminated mechanical switches, which are known to provide good tactile feedback at low noise. Further, the keyboard will be plug and play, not needing additional driver software. Mechanical keyboards are favored to provide high durability and tactile feedback compared to common membrane type keyboards. For now there's just a sneak peak image of the business-end of the keyboard. The Mionix Zibal 60 mechanical keyboard will launch in six days from now.

Keys itself are silent, when you press them, but since you need to apply quite a bit of pressure (MX Black are toughest switches), it will make helluva sound if you are typing bit faster or playing something like WoW, or anything that need bit more than WASD.
Sounds bit like older typing machine. :D So dont worry about silence.. not going to happen. :D
And for a heavy handed person to feel the bump more damage is done to the key as it's forced as far as it can go were as with this keyboard i am feather touching it and the keys are not even fully pressed.
In the end people like things different things different ways or it be a even more boring world.
That uses blue cherrys And is half plastic.. So not very rugged and the mechanics arent very good for gaming... And it has a 2 key rollover which is shite!
Much better ones out there! There's no might, it will kill the razor rubbish
