No problem, I got one at work and wife works from home, so I got her one. She is in love with it! I think I payed a little less because I got it on their Black Friday , but I also paid 99 last year when I got mine at work, so this is a great price. Happy typing.....lol

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.

I use blues, but I don't smash the keys, so the sound is more about clicking than banging. I work next to a guy pounds a rubber-dome board all day, and he's definitely louder. For the amount of typing I do in the office, blues are the best choice, but a lighter sound might be appropriate, depending on the background noise.I have used quieter cherry switches. They were quieter, but not much.

Yes, it's a pretty quiet keyboard because the buttons are sort of rubber-like and low-profile.

The keyboard I'm using has Cherry MX Blue keyswitches which are NOISY. The mic still picks up, but it's never a problem according to the peeps I'm gaming with ;)

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

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

The laptop is fairly quiet general. When doing light tasks like email and MS Office work it is very quiet. It isn't silent but I wouldn't consider it loud as normal office/home noise will easily drown it out. When working on more demanding tasks the cooling fan kicks in and the noise is a bit more noticeable. Really at no point have I thought the noise excessive or distracting.

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

hmmm, it has a soft click, not as loud as some -- I really don't notice it. The click is not sharp like many keyboards, but soft.

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.

Well my favorite keyboard is not this one in all honesty but I can say for the price and value of what it is it IS good and a decent buy. I noticed the the clicking notices when gaming aren't loud which really counts in my house because I play hard when I game and get to pounding at my keyboards pretty hard. I think that one is quiet compared to most. Just remember it is not a mechanical keyboard. Its a good value for the money and I considered it quiet. Hope this helps *smile... happy gaming!

If you want the feel and responsiveness of the mechanical keyboards but the quietness of the laptop keyboards I believe DAS keyboards offers something like that, here http://www.daskeyboard.com/ look for the silent model, it might be worth it if you're going to type in a crowded environment where others might be bothered by the clicky noise.

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.

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.

the keyboard isn't totally quiet. it does make some noise when the keys are pushed, but they don't click.

Hi Brenda I use this keyboard at work. I tend to type with strong touch, so it's loud but I don't quite concern about it.(I can't type quiet that's more of my problem than keyboard )I think it not so loud if you type as most average users.Nick
