How loud is this keyboard when you press the keys? My keyboard is a very OBNOXIOUSLY loud razer that's key presses can be heard through closed doors.

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 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

I agree that this kb is moderate in noise, definitely not quiet. Also agree it would be annoying in a library. Have not had usb issues. Have had issues with a somewhat sticky, less than ideally response backspace key.

Yes, the space bar is a little louder than other keys. It doesn't bother me though - I rather like the difference in sound as it confirms i have entered a space when i intend to. Interestingly, I was actually unaware of the difference until you brought it to my attention!

Its as noisy as a typical Desktop keyboard. Search elsewhere if you are looking for quiet.

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.

It's actually quite noisy. Other than that it is a really great keyboard. The only downside is the noise.

i would say its a little more quiet than average ... its not silent you can still hear a noise from it but its not as bad as say a mechanical keyboard id put it a step over my laptop keyboard

It's quiet. The keys are flat and give you a firm tactile feedback as you type. They're not bouncy or clacky like a regular keyboard.

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.

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.

Not extremely quiet. I love my Macally5, but it's not totally quiet. I wish I could record this sound. It's pretty light, but it does exist. The keyboard that came with my iMac was totally silent.

The space bar issue is one that can occur to the space, shift, keypad +, keypad enter and keypad insert keys. The problem is that underneath said keys there is a thin rod running across with 2 little plastic parts holding the rod onto the key itself. This supports the wider key size, but when one of the little plastic parts pops out of the underside of the key, it will block the keys downward motion and will not allow the key to depress evenly, as the rod is only attached on one side. You will hear a rattle if you give it a shake. Pay shipping costs and wait for Razer to click the key back onto its rod then send it back, or just do it yourself... The issue is bound to happen some day- I hope this will be of some use to someone.

I would call it pretty quiet. There is a little sound as the rubber/silicon key membrane slips in and out of the plastic case but nothing like a keypad that was specifically designed to make a sound. That said, if you need absolute silence, this may not be the best product for your use case.

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

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

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.

I haven't opened it. So I don't know. But the keys are pretty quiet when I pound on 'em during pvp.
