Is it possible to lower or disable to keypress tone? The loud, piercing tone it emits when keys are pressed is annoying!

Hello Simon, Unfortunately no. You can turn off the voice prompt, so you will not here the voice. But the key strike tones are always there. Thanks. Fortress 253 468 0196

Yes, but its no where near as loud as a mechanical keyboard. *MUCH*? not really, but it is louder.

Haven't had that problem with mine, in fact the low setting is too loud and I put my finger near the speaker to tone it down when I am running. Steves119 echoes my suggestion.

Yes. Pressing the button illuminates the keys. Press it again to turn it off.

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

This is what I did and I'm a alarm service tech I opened up the unit and found the Piezo and put a couple of layers of electric tape over the Piezo this brought the sound down much lower. If you cut that wire going to the Piezo you will hear nothing so when pushing any buttons you will not be able to confirm that you pushed hard enough for the key display. Please don't try this unless you know what your doing.

It's pretty obnoxious, enough to be the main reason I returned mine. Good luck.

It beeps when you push the buttons and when it's preheated and when it's done. I don't know how you would make the noise lower or frankly why it's such a big deal. It's certainly not a deal breaker for me. I don't mind because it beeps as an alert. You will hear it and isn't that the point? :)

Yes. The space bar, backspace, enter, any key that isn't the size of a letter key will sound different because they use a leveling bar. Still a MX blue underneath, but the leveling bar make a different sound

You can adjust the sound level to your personal preference from soft to loud. I wouldn't say loud is blasting but it is certainly sufficient. I have mine on low because it is irritating and I set it so it beeps twice if anyone opens the door as a personal preference.

Keyboard keys are okay - but the mouse click sound is too loud. Not impressed.

Hi Vivian!I know exactly what you mean - the new keyboards drive me crazy too! The keys are too small and so close together that I was constantly making mistakes and running my words together. Very frustrating! Now, my errors are just "operator error"! Ha, ha!My office recently got this keyboard for me and so far, so good. It's just like the "old fashioned" keyboards where the keys are raised above the surface of the keyboard. It is not a quiet keyboard, meaning you can hear when you're typing. And, yes, you can "feel" the keys when typing too. I highly recommend this keyboard if you like the original keyboards from years ago. And, if you find it doesn't work for you, you can always return it. :-) Hi Vivian!I know exactly what you mean - the new keyboards drive me crazy too!

Unfortunately no. No way to mute except using the inline control or via console or pc

Yes, you can. It has sidetone. You have to hold the mute button down for two seconds to switch between low and high sidetone. The sidetone on high sounds very low though.

Summer, Because I use this keyboard in my home office, I never thought about its level of "quietness." And too, I usually listen to music when I'm on my PC. But as I typed this response, I turned my music off and deliberately listened. And I was very aware of the fact that I did hear every keystroke. So, this may not be quiet enough for you. I hope this helps... All the best with your search.

Yes, you can silence the keyboard with O-rings. You'll lose a bit of the key depth, but it works. There is a tutorial available to silence this specific keyboard on geekhack. The keyboard is not particularly loud compared to "clacky" keyboards, though. The noise is generated by the upstroke, not the downstroke, so it's not about how hard you hit the keys, but how quickly you type. There is also a quiet version available, the Type S, which has pre-installed silencing rings for a little bit more.

Anyone know of a more quiet mouse they can recommend? My Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX is a little too loud too....
