What's the solenoid option used for? Sorry I'm young and don't know any better.

The problem with clicky keyboards like this one is that they annoy everyone sharing the same workspace, but the boss in his office may not hear it. The solenoid fixes that problem.

It's a solenoid that actuates each key press, for the sound and tactile feedback. It's something else, lol.
