Excuse me, you have a real clacker, can I stick some lube on it for you?

My female colleague, who I don't know particularly well, has a new keyboard and I can't quite figure out how to approach telling her it's too loud and distracting.

Do it the sneaky way. Get her some flowers, put them in a vase and then spill everything over the keyboard. Bonus points if you don't spill anything over her, the keyboard is unrecoverably destroyed and an Oscar winning performance afterwards. In millions of years they have not figured this out. They always suspected something when the acting was bad, but with a minimum of skill you should pull it off without complications.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

And, of course, there's no way that this little ploy could possibly backfire in any way.

Off course not, at least as long as you are a Master Ninja. 1) Assume the role of a harmless person near your target. I guess a slightly nerdy and clumsy software developer is harmless enough. 2) Strike with superhuman precision. I guess watering the keyboard without flooding the whole place and not making it look deliberate is superhuman enough 3) Stay within your role to make good your escape. If you do it right, you will appear even more harmless (and uninteresting) to her and not even ask why you were coming in the first place. She will actually be happy to see you going.

- Get in early.
- Grasp wire cutter firmly in right hand.
- Grasp USB (or PS2) connecter firmly in left hand,
- Clip wire.
- If connector came out of PC, re-insert.
- Leave her to figure it out.
Bonus points: help her troubleshoot the problem - find problem after an appropriate number of tests. Practice puzzled look. Note: In case this is a wireless keyboard, simply damage connections and reinsert connector. This is a great stumper on new equipment!

Too blunt. 1) Open Keyboard 2) Pry keyboard encoder out of its socket 2a) If there is no socket: Pry it out anyway. 2b) If prying does not work: Apply line voltage to any two pins of the keyboard encoder (without elctrocuting yourself) 3) Put keyboard back together

Tell her that the louder she plays the harder it gets, then ask her for a date?

Give her a private office - or grab one yourself. If you live in a cube farm, find somewhere where you aren't. ;P
