[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Controlling keyclick on an IBM PC keyboard

kfk9673@ultb.UUCP (K.F. Kingston) (03/28/89)

I've got a problem that I hope you people can help me with.  I have an
older model IBM PC (true blue) including keyboard.

Is there a way to control the keyclick (ie turn it off) with software
control or what?

Don't tell me to get a new keyboard :-).

Thanks...

Sorry, but getting a new keyboard *is* the only solution. The keyclick
is produced *mechanically* by the key. In other words, when you press
the key, the parts inside *that key* click. It can't be modified.
