Anyone know of a way of quietening the keys on a laptop? When I type on my Dell 4150, each key sort of rattles. It attracts the attention of people nearby. This is not a software "beep" - I am talking about the physical rattling of the keypess.

Yesyesyes, I'll head off the obvious answers:
:mad: type quieter
:mad: fill the gaps between keys on your kb with Crazy Glue
:mad: don't use your laptop in public

Some manufacture can replaice the keyboard if u want. U might want to ask Dell about this before u throw it away?

The other solution is buy another external keyboard like flexible keyboard.
