| Jun 14, 2018 at 15:49 | comment | added | A Regular joe | Is it possible that the enter key and/or the space bar on that keyboard is a bit dodgy, and he's gotten into the habit of hitting them harder so as to avoid - from his perspective - the frustration of interrupted typing flow? Perhaps that could be a good way to start the conversation; "oh is your spacebar giving you gyp as well? Yeah mine was like that before, here, let me show you how to request a new one..." | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 17:56 | comment | added | user41891 | Dude....I work in a small office with a couple old school programmers who use the old IBM keyboards because of the special keys they use for their mainframe systems. I work a little bit with some of it too, but ditched the console and keyboard for emulation software on the PC. I couldn't deal with the incessant clicking. However, even though they also use the emulation software they insist on those damned keyboards. | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 16:42 | comment | added | Festivejelly | Havnt really talked to my team about it. I see people looking over their desks sometimes when he's smashing the return key. I dont really want to start an angry mob or anything. I'm also not sure how close some of them are to him friendship wise. I dont want to offend the guy as he's a nice guy. He's just irritating me. I guess it doesnt really matter if he's bothering other people though. He's bothering me, I cant turn it off or ignore it i've tried. What i'm looking for now is some advice on what to do about it. Inaction isnt an option. | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 16:36 | comment | added | user44108 | How are other people in your team coping with it? Or are you the only one affected? | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 16:27 | comment | added | Festivejelly | No. As I mentioned my monitor shakes. We all use the same keyboards. Even if he had the clickiest keys in the universe they wouldn't amplify the force of his typing to the degree in which my monitor is shaking all over the place. | |
