What’s the closest thing to a typewriter I can get without all the mechanical hassle and driving the neighbors insane at 4 am?

All I want is a computer that directly prints onto paper, without a screen.

Anons, what I don’t want is a fucking screen. The glow distracts me. I got a 2016 macbook and it was near perfect for the purpose once wifi was deactivated, but even with a blue light filter or inverted colours the fucking glow is distracting.

Has anyone tried one of those electronic typewriters of the seventies?
Aren’t they making something like that, but with a modern keyboard?

I got a nice Smith Corona word processor from a yard sale for like 30 bucks. I felt bad for the guy because he was in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank and said that his fingers were so weak he couldn't use it nor write with a pen or pencil. He wrote short films that played in the local theatre. Pretty cool dude and I wish I could've talked with him more when I had the chance.
Anyway, the typewriter in question might be something worth looking into. You can optionally hook it up to a nice monochrome display and do a bit of modern-ish word processing on it. I'd use it more often but the keys are a bit stiff, and the data disks it uses to save stuff digitally are proprietary and I prefer to stick with open formats in general.
