Is the keyboard hard or silicon?

It's a hard black plastic type material. Keys are easy/soft touch much like the ones on my Mac keyboard. I really love the way it feels and works. It has made a huge difference in the utility of the iPad.

Not hard at all, it is just like a normal keyboard......mine did not last very long though, tab key was not operable after about 6 months of use.

Thanks for the info. I deducted that from the many sources posting, but wanted to make sure. Ordered mine 2 days ago. I really like the ergonomics of the keyboard with the 'soft' keys.

The top cover is hard, smooth, see through plastic. The bottom has multiple slots for ventilation. The keyboard cover feels and types like the original keyboard. We love it and the color! Hope this helps.

No. This product is JUST a keyboard skin. I DO have the keyboard. The keyboard has the touch pad. I love the keyboard and it lasts a long time on good batteries and is ultra responsive. The specific product that you are inquiring on is only a silicone cover *** NOT THE ACTUAL KEYBOARD.

not sure what that means but on the inside its hard plastic with a spring and it also has a + sign in the middle on the key and keyboard. loud keyboard and the its a fast response along with letting go of the key. compared to my cheaper gaming keyboard which had the gel in between the key and keyboard

There seems to be some interpretation with the answers here -- the keys are chiclet style but not hard plastic -- by chiclet style I mean that they are true "island" keys -- entire key depresses into the keyboard. This is unlike what I think of as a silicone keyboard where the key surface is continuous with the keyboard surface. That said, the keys are made of a moderately soft rubber-like material which feels to me a bit stiffer that the typical silicone keys that you might find on a rollup keyboard; but the keys are not hard plastic as would be typical of a laptop keyboard.

It is very thin. Typing is obviously not like a bare keyboard but I think it is not difficult. It is worth protecting the keys!

It's a soft, durable vinyl and or rubber. It offers some protection, but I would be concern about the keyboard circuit should it be dropped on a hard surface. I have had no problems with my unit.

I didn't have mine but a few hours before I returned it. If I remember correctly it is hard keys. Mine was broken so my memory is vague.

I believe it's ABS. I'm getting keycap wear on my home row and shift keys, typical for me of ABS caps.

It is clear silicone with black and white paint over the keys. The keyboard light is visible around the keys but not through the letters on the keys.

Lt gray aluminum for the back. Not an exact match for the space gray but very close. The keyboard side/keys are black and has a slick magnetic hinge. I just place my keyboard on the iPad and flick the hinge to magnetically connect them. Very easy.

It is made out of hard plastic like a regular keyboard. It is not like the fuzzy, felt-like Surface keyboard.

The keyboard is hard plastic. The keys stand out under your fingers just like a laptop keyboard.

Except the the keyboard, the rest is full metal. Where U put your hands to type is also metal. Hope this answers your question.

Don't know what you mean by soft, do you mean the click of the keys making a soft sound? If that is it, then it is not overly loud, but makes a slight sound typical of typing. If it's feel then it is the typical hard plastic key feel.
