I have an old G15 keyboard and love it, but the keys are way too loud and "clacky". Are he G510's keys loud or quiet?

The keys in my opinion are not as loud but I think if you are looking for silence you might want to look elsewhereIt is a nice keyboard

The G510 is like any normal keyboard, not especially "clacky" on the key strokes (not like mechanical switches).

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

G710+ is quieter than K70, they are both brown but G710+ have rubber orings under every button or thats what I have read in reviews. You can confirm that by removing one of your keyboard's button and looking into the key cap. If you don't have orings you can try installing them, you could buy a set on WASD keaboards. Orings remove noise of the base of the keyboard hit by a keycap. Be aware that mechanical keyboards always will be louder than for example low profile rubber dome ones like Logitech Illuminated. It's just the way how they work. Queitest mechanical (in my opinion) you could get are mx-reds + blue orings.

I have to admit, I've never noticed how loud this keyboard is, so I suppose that means it isn't very loud at all! It is a bit quieter than my Dell laptop keyboard, if that helps.

Its actually quite for a gaming keyboard. Not completely silent but very much quieter than a mechanical keyboard.

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.

Very quiet. Not silent, but definitely the quietest keyboard I've ever used, by far. (I'm a loud typist as well.)

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

I think Alex's answer is probably fairly accurate. If you consider the volume of full sized keyboards (think the ones that used to come with desktops), that's probably a 4 while most modern laptops with the island keys (think like those on the Apple keyboards) are closer to a 2 or even a 1 if you type softly. This keyboard is definitely louder, but not especially so. It is more of a solid click than a clack, if that makes any sense. I personally use mine in an open office setting and haven't had any complaints. Hopefully this helps answer your question!

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.

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 ;)

This keyboard is not what I would consider loud. The keys are definitely quieter than the very audible clicks of a mechanical keyboard, but it is louder than most keyboards you would find integrated into a laptop or the rubberized keyboards they have for use with tablets. I have no complaints about the keyboard. Everything works as advertised. The software for programming the G-keys is easy to use and works with my G-series mouse as well.

I had to go back to my g500 due to an issue with my g502. The g500 felt like a wet turd in my hand. Instantly went back to my g502 when it came in the mail.

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 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

It's not quiet. People absolutely will hear you typing. I don't know how people can call this a quiet keyboard - it's almost as loud as a "clicky" keyboard.

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.
