The question I have wondered for years: Why do companies make mouses so loud?!

Have you ever been on the computer at some obscure hour and with every click you feel like you're either going to A: Wake someone up, B: Piss them off. Regardless of the reason, we accept the noise because it is such a precedent with all mice.

Well, not all. For example: The Magic Mouse.
Then there's the trackpad, which still never solved the problem on certain computers.

Don't even get me started with keyboards... Some modern keyboards are as loud as my Apple IIC.
