One solution would be a password mode where the keys randomly rearrange, so you are using different physical keys each time. Kinda like you can do with passcodes on Android. Ofc this implies some way of dynamically displaying the keys, but that would be cool in itself.

Or what about playing sounds that block out the clicking.

Playing sounds? sure.

Rearranging keys - hell no.
