Are the keys soft or hard rubber

They are hard plastic which is why two of mine popped off. When closed the keys run against the inside edge of the case and eventually two of mine came off. It would actually be better if they were soft and gave a little to the constant rubbing.

For me they are sticky. the space bar, shift and other keys have to be pressed fairly hard and sometimes stick.

The rubber on the home & volume buttons is very soft. It's more like a silicone-rubber feel. I absolutely love it.

The keys are not hard to press, but they are actual raised keys, so it's not like typing on some of the new key pads that are just flat indentions. I like the keyboard.

They keys are solid; like typing on a nice laptop. It has worked out great for me.

The keyboard is hard plastic / similar or the same as a regular keyboard texture from what I remember. I gave this as a gift so I only touched it for a short time.

The keyboard is removable, held in with 6 small magnets. The keys are very soft rubber, and have not marked my screen, much less scratched it, even after being in my work bag and stuffed behind the seat of a fire/rescue truck. The keyboard doesn't stay connected long without use, but the wait to reconnect isn't inconvenient at all. It was well worth the 20 bucks I spent.

I still haven't got an answer yet and this is important to me. Soft keys mean slow typing because the keys don't respond fast enough. Fast typists find this incredibly important.

the black top of the key is identical to the original key. Rubber-like is more like it. I cannot tell the difference unless I look at the metal part by the teeth. my original has more years of use than the new key.

It is a "rubber" like material that lays over they keys. It can be difficult to see the keys and at times will stick to your fingers.

They are not soft touch as in a rubber coating but they do not require a lot of effort to type with. I hope that answers your question.

I don't really got your question. The keyboard is hard and the keys are really nice. Hard and quick response.

The keys are solid. It is smaller than a standard keyboard. However you would not want it any bigger. Just a reminder, mine does not work as a case. It is to loose of a fit.

The keys are very sensitive. I got this piano for a handicapped kid and the keys respond to her kicking then softly.

They are hard keys and yes they are in the same spot as a normal keyboard (without 10key) They are raised keys but they are only slightly raised. This is very smooth to type on and its super light weight.

the keys are hard, but it comes with a rubber key cover, to protect the screen when it's closed. I just leave the rubber cover on and it works great, plus it keeps keyboard clean.

It is made out of hard plastic like a regular keyboard. It is not like the fuzzy, felt-like Surface keyboard.
