I recommend do not buy this model. CM has discontinues this version. A new Trigger will be released shortly...that's what they've told me. My Storm Trigger failed within a few months of purchase. Sent it to CM. They stated that I would get a new Trigger as soon as it is released.

I have the cherry MX Blue version, typing on it write now, and yes... very much so. I recommend not getting the KB though because it uses a miniUSB interface to connect to the KB itself and for me that comes unpluggled a lot... I want my money back and want a new keyboard.

It is i would say. I got the red as well but you only hear a thump, while this has a mechanical metal like click. I wish I could compare it to my IBM m though side by side. Other than going unicomp, mx blue seem like the only alternative

As you may already know, it is not a true mechanical keyboard. It is clicky. Not as much a true mechanical keyboard sound and feel, but close enough. It is an excellent gaming keyboard though.

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.

You can hear some noise but I think It is pretty quiet. It is much quieter than the old keyboard it replaced and the keys push very easy. I recommend this keyboard.

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, the shift keys don't click as noticeably as the others but even they have the same overall responsive feel. I hadn't even noticed the slight difference in sound from the shift keys until I started checking to see if there were any differences. I wonder if they used MX red on the shift keys and blue everywhere else.

You may want to watch this video review - it's why I may get this keyboard.www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1V0oj9Vv0Y

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.

Actually I wondered that myself when I got it and it's a little quieter go on their website www.steelseries.com and I forgot what colors the keys are in the color chart but that chart is !really! Accurate. But as an over all keyboard I love it and all around (sorry for the Grammer doing this off my phone)

Key stroke sound is there. Unfortunately your keystrokes are not always as intended however..touch fidelity not 100% . Missed strokes and unwante multiple strokes

The keyboard is not loud, I would say just a normal click sound, perhaps the same as a laptop.

It makes it sound like you work in an office. Normal in my opinion. Also matters how hard you strike the keys but in this case your fingers travel last distance so you often are pressing lighter. As another reviewer mentioned just disable the beep it produces when you hit the wrong combo of keys.

Mine works perfectly, but I have to say the instructions for pairing were wrong. Don't recall what the problem was, but I resolved it fairly quick. The blue light on the keyboard comes on at the beginning when you turn the keyboard on, then quickly goes out. Make sure you've turned on Bluetooth in Settings (it then backlights on the drop down menu on the Home page. You can turn it on also on the drop down menu where the backlit icons are.).

Uhm. By blue, only the insignia at the bottom lights up blue. If you want a keyboard where there is a light behind the keys that lights blue then this isnt it. Just a good old mechanical keyboard with the razer symbol at the bottom pulsating blue

blue switch. If u are a gamer who don't care much about the rgb light or u are an editor who don't cre about the annoying sound u should get it! I highly recommend this. The package weight? U really care about this? U sure? I used this more than a year, and the only thing I want to tell you is: even though this mechanical keyboard is maybe not looks or feels great when you first get it, but u will like it after u use it more than a week! Much better than other so called mechanical stuff. Remember this is genuine CHERRY!

They aren't too loud. Almost like a Mac keyboard but not. Somewhere between a Mac and normal desktop keyboard. I was typing while skyping and my girlfriend said she could hear me type. Then again, I'm a little more aggressive than I need to be. So no, it does not make a loud clacking noise that some traditional keyboards do.

Yes! That's why I bought it as well. It's not completely silent but it's quieter than a normal keyboard
