This would be, believe it or not, my first laptop. How quiet are the keys? Also, if you know, would that answer apply to all of these Lenovo laptops?

I would say the keys are fairly quiet. Not loud like the cheap keyboards you find else where. It's a great work or school laptop just kind of big

considering i had a dinosaur of a laptop before, not sure how reliable my input is, but personally the audio system on it is great! with the right set of headphones, you only need about 4 bars of volume to tune out most loud noises. the speakers are pretty loud, too.

I'll add to the others who commented on the quietness of the keyboard. It's the only keyboard I've used that is at least as quiet as my Dell laptop's keyboard. Others have frequently commented on the sound of my typing on other keyboards (like the Logitech MK520, which is much louder), but I haven't heard anything at all with this one.

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

mine was slow, wi-fi or not. Support is HORRIBLE. WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I returned the laptop because one of the keys didn't work, then they refused to fully refund because one of the keys didn't work. under fraud investigation. Don't get LENOVO

I'm shocked at the other answers. This keyboard is horrible compared to the keyboards found on Thinkpad laptops, which I've been using for years. If you are expecting the same good, solid feel of the keys you'll be disappointed with this keyboard. Very soft, weak feel to them. The mouse is also very small, which you may or may not like.

Most laptop keyboards suck in general. I would use a real USB mouse / keyboard splitter and use a real PS/2 keyboard and mouse if you are able to have the table space for one. Other than that I really like what this laptop is going for in size and performance. I wish it had 4 USB ports and also a VGA port for versatility.

Neither loud nor quiet. It's not as noisy as a Model M or as soft as a laptop keyboard. I think it is appropriate for shared offices (I use it in one).

Sir, We purchased this about 6 months ago, and I would say this is one of the smoothest laptops, we have ever purchased. May be the Lenovo T400 is better. A good buy any day

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

The keys have switches like a laptop, but they rattle less so they are quiet. I cannot quantitate the sound, but this is one of the quietest keyboards I have ever heard

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.

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.

Does this one have any back lit keys? No;Is it comfortable? - Yes;Good for coding? - Yes; programming? - Yes;And what's the receivers range? - I've never had an issue with range. My laptop is within 2 feet of my keyboard. I hope this helps.

It's not super loud and clicky. But it's not silent, either. I'd say average for a keyboard. Can you hear your current keyboard? I'd test that with someone to get a baseline.

Glad to hear you haven't given up on the ThinkPad/IdeaPad family. I've had my Lenovo S10 for several weeks now and really enjoy it. To make it more user-friendly in fixed situations, I bought a USB keyboard for $6 and a USB optical mouse with retractable cord for another $8. Additionally, I upgraded the RAM to the max of 2Gb for $20. A very nice computer. It essentially replaced my very old ThinkPad that I had bought in 2000.Having looked at all the offerings, the only other netbook I would even consider is the Samsung NC-10. It's nearly identical to the Lenovo S10, but comes with a 6-cell battery and one additional USB outlet. It also costs more. Glad to hear you haven't given up on the ThinkPad/IdeaPad family.

Yes, while the keys themselves don't glow there are small LEDs around the sides of the keys making the keys visible even in the dark.Decent laptop with above average WiFi reception, I'd recommend it!
