How loud is the on button? Is it silent (or nearly silent) or is there an audible click when pressed?

If you're worried about someone outside the door hearing you push the button to photograph them, don't. The button push makes little to no noise at all. You will "feel" the click but there is no sound.

Yeah, it is very quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it isn't clicky at all. I'd recommend it.

There is an audible click sound when the unit powers on/off, I don't know that I would call it loud, but that's my opinion

The one sent to me failed to work properly the second time I set it so I sent it back for a refund so I can't say about button noise. Sorry.

I can hear the clicks on mine if the ambient noise level is low. The clicks are quite subdued. I have 18 of these in service.

It is not 100% noiseless. The buttons provide a faint click, which is a nice acknowledgement that you pressed the button. The sound level is less than that of a finger lightly tapping a desk. To compare it to other mice; It is at the same level as my Microsoft Optical Mouse 2.0, and a lower pitch then that of my Logitech Bluetooth v470 mouse that it replaced.

The only noise I will occasionally hear is a slight click when the power switches on/off. Other than that, it is completely silent. It's basically a digital clock with outlets

No, it's not... It no louder than most mice, giving off a light crisp "click" with the click of a button, but I would not say it's quiet. Sounds like this is a very important feature to you, therefore I would NOT recommend this particular item.

Yes, it makes a fairly loud "click" sound when it switches on and off. I had to replace my 12 year old switch with a new one. Same brand. But this new one is much louder than the old one.

Do all of yours make that clicking noise when it is on? It seems like it shouldn't make that sound?

It has a click. I can hear it, but I wouldn't say it's loud. The thing that I like about it is that it has a button that will switch you between the desktop and the tiles screen in Windows 8. You don't have to go to the corners so much.

It does have a mute button. Unfortunately it is too easy to turn on as sometimes I accidentally mute myself.

It is very quiet, very similar with a click ticking. Is not completely silent

I'm not really sure what you are talking about. The mouse itself is quiet when you drag it across a surface. The left and right click buttons make a standard click sounds when pressed and depressed. The center wheel also clicks when pressed and depressed. The small center button clicks as well, but it is quieter than the other buttons. In general, this mouse is no more loud or quiet than any other mouse I have used in the past. If you are in a quiet room, you will hear the mouse buttons being used.

As a man I don't mind clicky buttons and can't imagine most men would, either. But I own 4 of these things and they all make some slight noise when pressed. On some it's a very slight click and on another it's got a little squeak like an unoiled hinge. It clicks when you release the button too. Nothing big. That noise will increase a little over time as coffee solids deposit on the inner workings of the lid.

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!

It has a quiet "click" when going up and an even softer one scrolling down. It is fairly muted though.
