How loud is this keyboard compared to others. I have a Dell REV A00, not sure if this is the model number, but it is very loud. I would like to replace it with a quiet keyboard. I would appreciate some feedback regarding the noise level, thanks in...

hmmm, it has a soft click, not as loud as some -- I really don't notice it. The click is not sharp like many keyboards, but soft.

If you are concerned about noise, you might want to do an "o-ring mod" and as others suggested; turning the beeper off. The o-ring mod is the technique of putting o-rings on all the key-switches, effective eliminating the noise of bottoming out. If you do this your keyboard will be reasonably quiet. I personally prefer loud keyboards for programming work, I like to have a clear audible feedback (so my favourite switches are cherry MX blues).For reference; I own the Black USB version of this keyboard (that is mechanically identical with less functionality - macros, etc).

I find it very quiet, and the noise it does make is subtle and not grating. I have other brands that are much louder and didn't cost that much less; I recommend this one. Note: it's tall - elevated my laptop noticeably, which works well for me in terms of more comfortable using the keyboard (it's the thinnest & flattest laptop I've ever owned), but something to keep in mind.

It is not particularly quiet. It is a nice keyboard though. Has a heft to it and an on-board volume control for computer music and sounds. Very handy and convenient. I am glad I bought it.

For me, this keyboard has a medium to light touch. It isn't silent but makes less noise than others I have used.Even thought it is sort of old technology due to the way it connects to your tower, I like this keyboard better than most of the newer ones available. The seller is an excellent company to do business with.

It is not low profile, it's more like a Dell, it has some substance to it. The keys are dine. I do dictation over the Internet and this one is good. I had one of those slim ones and it wore out quickly, so I wanted a sturdy, no frills keyboard.

As of today, the keyboard doesn't seem to be listed on the Dell site anymore.... maybe they're going to release it to Amazon soon? Luckily my wonderful G15 classic (18 button) keyboard is serving me just fine until this new one comes out. :)

The keyboard I'm using has Cherry MX Blue keyswitches which are NOISY. The mic still picks up, but it's never a problem according to the peeps I'm gaming with ;)

I haven't noticed noise coming from the processor, though the keyboard is a bit noisy. Randomly, I will say that the battery life is not great, but I don't mind too much since it does charge quickly. Maybe 3 hours battery life, longer if you're just using loaded applications instead of Internet.

It's relatively quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it's not that loud. It's average I'd say.

How close are your coworkers? What is the background noise like in the office? This is not a quiet keyboard, but if you have a reasonable level of white noise, or reasonably sized cubes, it won't be an issue.I love this keyboard and would make my coworkers deal even if I sat right next to one.

It's slightly louder than a laptop keyboard, but is about the same as other non-mechanical keyboards in my experience. If noise is a concern, the Linear Feel model comes with Cherry MX switches, which are softer as there's no tactile bump (key offers the same resistance the whole way down). This version comes with Cherry MX Browns; a quick youtube search of "Brown vs Red switches" will bring up some videos that might help you get an idea of the difference in volume level.

It doesn't necessarily silence the noise, but it does reduce the sound. I have a Rosewill MX Blue and I definitely noticed a noise reduction. Once you install the O-ring, you will notice that the keys become a little stiff when you try to bottom out the key. It doesn't make it quiet overall like the MX Browns in terms of tactile keyboards, but I guess you can say it's in between the MX Browns and MX Blues in terms of noise. I hope this makes sense for you.

I would say fairy quiet, it's not as quite as the silicon ones, but definitely better than many logitech keyboards. the best way is to go to the shop a try it out, I did that.

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 's not soundless but until I saw your question, I never noticed the sound. You can hear yourself tapping on the keys, but not any louder than other keyboards I've used.

I sent this back because of something about the software it had on it. Having used another such laptop: This is WONDERFUL. If you are a fast typist, the keyboard is a godsend. I really miss it. It is very comfortable to work on. It does not heat up like some do. Darn, I would love to have one. For the same price, I bought a desktop from Quill.com (a Dell refurbished for $300, far less than Dell would dream of selling it for. Wish you luck finding a laptop like this one, Dawn.
