Are the keyboard buttons "rubbery"?

No they are plastic like a regular PC keyboard. There is no mouse function though.

No. The keyboard button are hard like on a regular computer keyboard. The keyboard is very very good and works extremely well with the Dell Venue Pro 8 tablet.

yes, there are little rubber feet that add about 1/2 inch to either the front or back. they clip in and cannot slide over like some of the other ones. I do like this about the keyboard.

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.

I second the previous answer.The case is a hard plastic, not rubberized or sticky at all. The keyboard cover it comes with is slightly sticky though, but it does wonders.Highly recommended.

The keys do not feel squishy. They feel exactly like a laptop keyboard. I have no idea what actuation and travel distances are, but I am quite satisfied with the keyboard. I use it all day long and it works exactly as I would hope.

No, but the buttons' locations are marked by button covers in the rubber sides of the case. I never had any problem using them, which I think is what you may really be asking.

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 aren't soft like jelly or soft silicone but they are thin enough that I've never had an issue using the buttons. I wouldn't worry about it.

No. The spacebar is well spaced from the other keys... only once did I accidentally hit it, and it was my clumsiness which caused it.

They do not feel like they are. The keyboard is great! You'll love it if you choose to purchase it.

Yes the keys press easily and you know the key has been pressed. Love how this key board feels when typing... never have to second guess. This key board is the perfect firmness for a keyboard...but soft enough u dont have to bang on the keys.

Yes to all of your questions. This is very slightly thicker, connects just like the "original," and the top is plastic (keys and trackpad) and rubber (probably rubber coated plastic) everywhere else. The back of the keyboard has a grey fabric that provides some friction to keep the keyboard/Surface from sliding around on a smooth surface.

Yeah it's not the snuggiest I've ever seen. It's more comfortable on the keys in the upper part of the keyboard. The small keys, the arrow keys are not snug at all

I haven't had any problems with the touchpad or the keyboard. I think they work fine.

nope. They're basically stickers so once you put them off you have to peel them off, my sister attempted this with hers and it ripped instead of peeling off smoothly and left the keys sticky. I'd leave it on and if you want something else later get one of the rubber ones that just goes over the keyboard!

I'm still using this keyboard, I find the keys ever so slightly firmer. They also seem to be ever so slightly more contoured. Texture is fine, but is less 'rubbery' than a regular Mac keyboard. The most-used keys have smoothed out a bit; they start out with a slightly matte finish and touch, but over time this has smoothed out. This isn't much of a problem as the contour is perfectly fine - it's not like I'm slipping off the keys. Spacing is very close, and it's quite comfortable moving from this keyboard to one of my 2 other 'regular' Mac keyboards. The angle is fine for me, but I must point out it's fairly low and it's fixed.

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