_Resident Evil: Model M_?

I can't help with what you are actually asking about, but I'll throw out the new System76 fully open source (H/W spec, firmware, software) at https://system76.com/accessories/launch.

I can't speak to this keyboard, but there are a couple of guys are work that have very clicky keyboards, and they are extremely distracting during conference calls.  I chair a bunch of calls, and I'm constantly asking people to mute or just muting them, so that's something you need to consider these days.
