Are the keys soft and quite or very loud?

I would say neither. You will not have a very loud keyboard. However since this unit is not very expensive you get what you pay for.

They are not very loud. They are soft, but not specifically so. There is some klack too the keys, but it is softer than your average keyboard in my opinion.

They are very soft and quiet in comparison to most other gaming keyboards. They make more of a ticking sound than a clacking sound.

I describe it as medium, but I'd say on the softer side. It's not like flat keyboards as often found in laptops, but certainly as easy to press, and the keys aren't nearly as high or hard to press as most "clack clack clack" keyboards. This beast is cheap, though. You can't go wrong, and just return it if it doesn't suit, I say! I've had several of these and loved them all.

It is not particularly quiet. It is a nice keyboard though. Has a heft to it and an on-board volume control for computer music and sounds. Very handy and convenient. I am glad I bought it.

The keys aren't silent as an original newer Mac keyboard would be. They are kind of clicky, especially if you are a fast typer.

It is very quiet. The keys are almost flesh even with the board so you dont have to press hard on the keys.

Hmm... Typing on it now, I'd say that the keys have a very small amount of resistance. I like it, enough to feel like you're pressing a button, but not at all difficult to do so.

I think Alex's answer is probably fairly accurate. If you consider the volume of full sized keyboards (think the ones that used to come with desktops), that's probably a 4 while most modern laptops with the island keys (think like those on the Apple keyboards) are closer to a 2 or even a 1 if you type softly. This keyboard is definitely louder, but not especially so. It is more of a solid click than a clack, if that makes any sense. I personally use mine in an open office setting and haven't had any complaints. Hopefully this helps answer your question!

The keys are soft. It doesn't type very well at all. Gotta hit the keys hard.

The Fellowes Microban Split Design does not have stiff keys like most keyboards. I will admit that I like to feel like I am pressing something as well and thus far it is great when it comes to this preference. As far as noise level, it isn't super quiet if you're looking for a quiet laptop when you press the keys.

I would say that they're soft enough. I had a keyboard where keys were even softer than here. It was Genius kb-16e, but they don't make it any longer. New Genius keyboards are not that soft, and most of them have flat keys, which I don't like.

They feel like a real piano to me. They have sensitivity like a real piano too, if you hit it hard it's louder, you can play softly, so you can get the intonation of a real piano. It can be set to just blat out notes like other keyboards, maybe that's what others are experiencing. I like it as well as the grand piano I grew up with. Plus it comes with a sustain pedal so you have even more control over the sound.

No they are not. You get the same sound regardless of how hard or soft you hit the keys.

It's relatively quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it's not that loud. It's average I'd say.

They are raised, although not as high has your average conventional raised keys. The keys themselves actually press down quite smoothly, with littler effort needed to press them at all. (they're a bit noisy too, though)

Don't know what you mean by soft, do you mean the click of the keys making a soft sound? If that is it, then it is not overly loud, but makes a slight sound typical of typing. If it's feel then it is the typical hard plastic key feel.

They are rubbery. They click a little. They have a good tactile feel that makes them easy to detect each key.

I would say this keyboard is right in the middle of the two, because it is not loud, or quiet when i "strike" the keys. I have had this keyboard for about 2 months now, and i still love it.
