Are the keystrokes on the keyboard quiet? Or does it make a loud clacking noise when it's being used like the usual keyboards you get with a desktop?

They aren't too loud. Almost like a Mac keyboard but not. Somewhere between a Mac and normal desktop keyboard. I was typing while skyping and my girlfriend said she could hear me type. Then again, I'm a little more aggressive than I need to be. So no, it does not make a loud clacking noise that some traditional keyboards do.

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.

two notes. The wireless feature goes off and on on occasion. So the Keyboard and/or mouse won't work for 30% of the time :( approx 70% of the time it works great and the other 30% doesn't work good or work at all for that matter. The Keyboard is very quiet.

You can hear some noise but I think It is pretty quiet. It is much quieter than the old keyboard it replaced and the keys push very easy. I recommend this keyboard.

oops. Wen, I think I hit no for your review being helpful. Should have hit yes. They are better than standard keyboards but still kinda noisy. They are smoother which helps with that some. Hope this and the other answers helped you.

The keystrokes are quiet. It's not the loud clacking noise, but a very quiet tapping.

I think u mean the mouse keys if am not mistaken.. They are very quiet and have no voice when pressed! Honeslty am in love with the keys of this laptop! Am really impressed with the whole laptop itself! Its really good

Any mechanical keyboard is going to be louder than the typical laptop keyboard. This one is perhaps a little quieter than the one it replaced, but I have had keyboards that were quieter, I think. I'm no good with 1-10 questions, but the other answer you have received (from Alex Haack) sounds good to me.

Yes. Not silent like most laptop keypads, but neither noisy like some keyboards I've used. Plenty of key travel, but no positive "click".

The keys are really quiet, it will take time to get used to it though since the layout of the keys are not like any other keyboards. I catch myself hitting the \ key when I want to delete a letter, but all in all I like it and am sure others will as well.

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 have 4 different keyboards in the office, one is very quiet - the other 3 the same. The Impecca keystroke noise would be considered typical.

The stealth edition does not have the distinct "click" with every keystroke. It will sound more like your traditional keyboard when you press the key.

The keyboard's not whisper-quiet, but it's not super-noisy either, and it has a good touch. I have to say that I'm not using the mouse at all - it didn't handle as well as my existing one; I only got it because it was part of the package, at such a good price.

It is really very quiet. It doesn't use mechanical switches so you don't get that tick tick tick sound when you press keys down.

It is quieter than a mechanical keyboard but if you type quickly there is a sound made that is louder than a "quiet" keyboard, it is not loud but it does have a sound.

I would say around average. It isn't quiet but I have heard worse. If you are doing a lot of chatting, and quiet is your main selling point. I would probably look for another. Still like the keyboard, but I don't have many worries on how noisy it is.

I agree with Alexander. I use mine in a shared office workspace and I have not received any complaints. It is a tad noisier than a normal keyboard but I wouldn't worry about it, the benefits of using it far out-way any subtle/minor noise annoyance it might/could cause.

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

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.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around "tendency to type loud." Is that something like a 'lead foot?' My keyboard clicks are audible; no one has commented that it is louder or quieter than any other keyboard I have had, but it has been noticed that I type faster. However, sadly does not eliminate the mistakes. We think the keys are a tad bit larger than other keyboards we have had.

As the other response indicated, the sound is mechanical, not electronic, so it can't be turned off...but it is not particularly loud--it more sounds like the closing of the electrical contact than a deliberate click. I actually haven't used the keyboard all that much so far, but it seems pretty decent for the price.best wishes, Tom
