the keyboard isn't totally quiet. it does make some noise when the keys are pushed, but they don't click.

I wouldn't say it's an audible click, more of a 'tactile' click. For me its quite quiet. I'm very pleased with the keyboard in general except that you can't lock it in its open position, so you do need flat surface. I use a Nexus 10 tablet, and didn't know beforehand I'd have to remap a handful of keys to make it usable, but once that was done it worked beautifully.

I find it quiet. It's not the CLICK CLICK of a loud mouse but a nice quiet "plunk plunk plunk" sound.

I didn't end up keeping the newer version, but it seemed to be just like my older ones. They are not quiet. You can hear the keys being pressed. I didn't realize how loud they were until I started recording screencast videos. You can hear me typing very clearly in the audio. There are lots of keyboards that make the same sounds, so I don't think your co-workers will flip over it.

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.

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

The keyboard is actually very quiet when you type. Not like your typical keyboards. The mouse is the same as most others.

If you want the feel and responsiveness of the mechanical keyboards but the quietness of the laptop keyboards I believe DAS keyboards offers something like that, here http://www.daskeyboard.com/ look for the silent model, it might be worth it if you're going to type in a crowded environment where others might be bothered by the clicky noise.

It is really very quiet. It doesn't use mechanical switches so you don't get that tick tick tick sound when you press keys down.

I would say the sound is normal, not too loud and not too quiet. The touch is really comfortable. I had bought 2 of this keyboard.

For the most part it is. I don't really do a lot of extended typing so it probably would be as noisy. Seems to have gotten alittle bit noisier now that the keys have loosened up a bit.

I'll add to the others who commented on the quietness of the keyboard. It's the only keyboard I've used that is at least as quiet as my Dell laptop's keyboard. Others have frequently commented on the sound of my typing on other keyboards (like the Logitech MK520, which is much louder), but I haven't heard anything at all with this one.

It certainly isn't silent - mechanical switches make noise. I'm about 70 years old and my hearing is waning a bit, but I can hear the keys. I'd say they are in the range of 6 on your scale with my hearing.

Yes it is. It's a little loud when typing... but I sure LOVE this keyboard. I hope that helps.

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 agree that this kb is moderate in noise, definitely not quiet. Also agree it would be annoying in a library. Have not had usb issues. Have had issues with a somewhat sticky, less than ideally response backspace key.

The keys, while not completely silent, make very little noise while typing. I have never had an issue where people could hear my keys though the microphone.
