Are these hard chiclet keys or silicone?

Silicone... unfortunatelly. They are still better than screen kbd.... but not as easy to type on. Some keys' placement also slow you down.

They are normal keys and easy to press! Not silicone and NOT like ms surface touch keys.

There seems to be some interpretation with the answers here -- the keys are chiclet style but not hard plastic -- by chiclet style I mean that they are true "island" keys -- entire key depresses into the keyboard. This is unlike what I think of as a silicone keyboard where the key surface is continuous with the keyboard surface. That said, the keys are made of a moderately soft rubber-like material which feels to me a bit stiffer that the typical silicone keys that you might find on a rollup keyboard; but the keys are not hard plastic as would be typical of a laptop keyboard.

They Are soft keys but after using it for a little while I realized it was more in the way because I didn't type as much as I thought I was going too

Ufff... kind of a mixture of both. They are trapezoidal shape, but not that big, they are not that high either so some might say that it's chiclet type. Here are two links to close up images on the keys, hope it helps. http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/AP_a_uT6RDY/maxresdefault.jpg http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2010/04/microsoft-sidewinder-x4-keyboard-review/sidewinderx4-5.jpg

Though I have not taken a key apart, I am pretty sure these are scissor style. The keys feel good and clicky, not cheap the way a membrane would.

Yes, each key is made of hard plastic and each one is located separately is pretty the same as a laptop keyboard

They are tactile. I am a touch typist and have no trouble typing on this keyboard.

Yes this is a solid keyboard with hard chicklet style keys like on a MacBook. The keyboard is very good and easy to type on. I highly recommend this device. Not sure which device DBLU below is talking about...these are hard plastic keys...not silicone or rubber.

I believe it's ABS. I'm getting keycap wear on my home row and shift keys, typical for me of ABS caps.

No, they are metal. I am not musically inclined, but the sound from these keys are very pleasing to hear.

Keys are "standard". They do "click" softly, but you do feel the "click" more than you hear it (similar to most laptop key boards).

They are rubbery. They click a little. They have a good tactile feel that makes them easy to detect each key.

They are hard plastic which is why two of mine popped off. When closed the keys run against the inside edge of the case and eventually two of mine came off. It would actually be better if they were soft and gave a little to the constant rubbing.

Sorry. I don't have them available to check. I use them to hold a standard key. I imagine that it would hold a larger key or a few keys.

yeah they are plastic, but I think labels would stay on without harming the keys. the letters and numbers on the keys might come off with the label if you remove it, though.

They are silicone. They are also a bit stretchy, so don't be concerned if they appear to be a little small for your jar.

They arent quite silicone, but softer than rubber. Its pretty much an even mix.

I believe they are silicone. My son is slightly allergic to latex and he hasn't reacted to these bands at all.
