How loud is this keyboard? I live in a dorm room and do not want to disturb my roommate with my late night gaming

I would say fairy quiet, it's not as quite as the silicon ones, but definitely better than many logitech keyboards. the best way is to go to the shop a try it out, I did that.

This keyboard is not a mechanical keyboard. You'll find that it is very quiet. But, if you're looking at purchasing this keyboard because it is backlit also, move on. You'll be disappointed.

The keyboard is not loud, I would say just a normal click sound, perhaps the same as a laptop.

Its actually quite for a gaming keyboard. Not completely silent but very much quieter than a mechanical keyboard.

I would say around average. It isn't quiet but I have heard worse. If you are doing a lot of chatting, and quiet is your main selling point. I would probably look for another. Still like the keyboard, but I don't have many worries on how noisy it is.

I just tested this keyboard right now. About the loudness of keys, it really depends on how much strength you you put in. If you just lightly And carefully touch a key, it does not make any sound at all in my opinion. But if you hit the keys continuously and very fast, which is what gamers do when chatting, or in a fierce battle, I would say it sounds just as loud as a conventional mechanical keyboard. Therefore, I would not recommend this one to anyone who does a lot of typing, especially gamers, chatters at night.

I agree with Alexander. I use mine in a shared office workspace and I have not received any complaints. It is a tad noisier than a normal keyboard but I wouldn't worry about it, the benefits of using it far out-way any subtle/minor noise annoyance it might/could cause.

This keyboard is actually very quiet. I would consider it a "soft touch" keyboard. There is almost no perceptible noise when typing.

How close are your coworkers? What is the background noise like in the office? This is not a quiet keyboard, but if you have a reasonable level of white noise, or reasonably sized cubes, it won't be an issue.I love this keyboard and would make my coworkers deal even if I sat right next to one.

It is quieter than say a stock Dell keyboard. It more or less has a rather muffled thunk type of sound compared to clicking. I'm a programmer / sys admin and I don't completely touch type, nor do I type 60 wpm. So your mileage may vary.

It depends on how loud is loud to you. It doesn't type like a laptop keyboard; it's a slightly more hollow clacking sound than that, but we still find it to be the least annoying of any keyboard we've owned in a long time. It's nothing like the old keyboards that sounded like a muffled gunshot with every stroke. So I'd say it's somewhere in between the two.

It might be a little louder than my old keyboard but it was not nearly as loud as I thought it was going to be. Here in my computer room at home I'm sure someone else in the room could hear the keys as I type but they're not what I'd call super loud.

I don't feel it's all that loud but if you are gaming and repeatedly mashing the mouse button hard and fast in a completely silent house I am sure that it could disrupt someone from sleep but I think most mice would do that. This has been my all time fave mouse I have bought 4 of them and been the most happy with both the shape and the way you can weight it to be the right feel for you.

This keyboard is very quiet. My son's desk is in the same room and I've never noticed a problem with him banging away on this kb.

Any mechanical keyboard is going to be louder than the typical laptop keyboard. This one is perhaps a little quieter than the one it replaced, but I have had keyboards that were quieter, I think. I'm no good with 1-10 questions, but the other answer you have received (from Alex Haack) sounds good to me.

Summer, Because I use this keyboard in my home office, I never thought about its level of "quietness." And too, I usually listen to music when I'm on my PC. But as I typed this response, I turned my music off and deliberately listened. And I was very aware of the fact that I did hear every keystroke. So, this may not be quiet enough for you. I hope this helps... All the best with your search.

It's pretty noisy and there is an electronic "Key Click" option. If you can live with it with that option off, the experience is WELL worth it. It's also worth noting that I am very heavy handed.

It's pretty quiet. The quietest keyboard I have ever owned. Had mine for almost 6 months and I use it very heavily. Outstanding product for the price

Yes, but its no where near as loud as a mechanical keyboard. *MUCH*? not really, but it is louder.

This keyboard is not wireless. I don't use wireless keyboards or mice for gaming so I can't respond to the second question.

It isnt the most quiet keyboard but nobody ever complained to me.It sounds like one of those old keyboards.
