Looking for QUIET keyboard - at least as quiet as my Toshiba laptop. Absolutely cannot stand the typical clickety-clack sound. Is this kbd quiet?

Hey there, the keyboard has a sponge web base instead of a mechanical keyboard, it's very quiet.

This keyboard is very quiet considering its a membrane keyboard, every press is silent and can be used at night without waking anyone.

Yes it is, but I wouldn't recommend getting this keyboard. After a few months of use, the keyboard started messing up and the keys would stick while in-game which made it very unbearable to play. Reinstalled the drivers, updated even, and nothing worked. I am currently using Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 which is fairly quiet and has great battery life.

kinda of normal clicking guess if type easy would be quiet enough somebody to sleep. Good keyboard so far

It's not as loud as the typical wired keyboard. The keys are almost just like tile keys but just a little bigger so it makes some sound.

It does not make a loud clacking noise but it does make noise. The keys are softer than the traditional desktop keyboards I have used. When I was typing, my friend did hear the keys over the phone and he said it's audible like a regular keyboard.

Very quiet. Not silent, but definitely the quietest keyboard I've ever used, by far. (I'm a loud typist as well.)

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

Not silent and not near silent; key clicks are audible and about the same as my laptop......

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!

Its a very quiet keyboard compared to a regular desktop keyboard ( e.g. mid 2000s Dell desktop keyboard)

I haven't noticed noise coming from the processor, though the keyboard is a bit noisy. Randomly, I will say that the battery life is not great, but I don't mind too much since it does charge quickly. Maybe 3 hours battery life, longer if you're just using loaded applications instead of Internet.

Not actually a laptop user. Keys relatively quiet.Keys made from plastic I'm guessing. I like the the note keybrd very much.

I am normally loud at typing as well. This keyboard is the quietest one I have found so far.

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

I have no suggestions, but I do have an issue with the noisy keyboard. My space bar is especially "clack-y".

Its pretty close to our laptop key board... can't really say. I personally like clicking/typing noise and I kind a think its not loud...

Yes it is quiet and windows compatible. But an even better keyboard is the "Ultra Slim Design BTC 6310U USB Chiclet-style Keyboard". It is also cheaper!

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.

It's moderate in noise. Probably less than MS kb but not by much. Edit: After sitting down and using it I would say it's just a tad quieter than the MS keyboards, not as loud as the old (and well loved by me) IBM keyboards from the early 90's. It certainly would be annoying still in a library if you're a quick typist, say 60+ wpm. Also, I can confirm I have to move it between USB ports when it goes missing, about 2x a month as other people have mentioned in reviews.

Yes, mine is very quiet and I really like it. My previous keyboard was very noisy when typing and people complained on conference calls, "who's mad at their keyboard" haha. So I searched for a quieter option and I love this logitech KB, it's the best keyboard I've had, great feel and I'm a very fast typist, it works great.
