Is there any way to make this keyboard quieter?

Yes you can If you know how to disassemble the keys to get under the switches and put these special rubber rings On there. The rings are made special for it and there's tutorials online.

You can get the O-Rings Dampeners for each key and that should do the trick.

If you buy the keyboard directly from Max Keyboard not only can you order it with o-rings, but you can order it with a custom LED layout as well. I have this keyboard with and without o-rings. There is a significant reduction in sound with the o-rings, but you may be able to detect a very small "squish" at the bottom of the keystroke if you are a lighter typist.

yeah you can buy sound dampeners like these http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keyboard-accessories/cherry-mx-rubber-o-ring-switch-dampeners-125pcs.html i'm not sure what they do to the feel of the keyboard though

The keys have switches like a laptop, but they rattle less so they are quiet. I cannot quantitate the sound, but this is one of the quietest keyboards I have ever heard

There is a microphone mute switch on the volume control. Muted sound has to be done via hotkey/desktop action/etc.

I have this keyboard, no I would not consider it a "quiet" keyboard. You can hear the keystrokes pretty well. It is not overly loud, but you can definetly hear it. My computer room is adjcent to my living room and no one can hear me typing in there, but standing in the doorway they can hear the typing, if that gives you any indication on the sound level. I hope I helped!

Yes,you can mute the key volume.That would get a little annoying at time's.

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

Not that I'm aware of or see listed. This is a very basic board. I didn't even know keyboards came with volume control.

Its pretty close to our laptop key board... can't really say. I personally like clicking/typing noise and I kind a think its not loud...

Yes you can, either by turning it down using the Hot keys on the keyboard itself (F keys, from 100% to 0%) or by installing the SetPoing software and configuring the setting to OFF.

It's very noisy. It reminds of the old IBM keyboards with the curly tail cord. The noisiness of the key strikes are probably my biggest complaint of the keyboard. I'm happy using it at home, but would not bring it to an office. Just my opinion.

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

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

Key press is not the problem; it's fine. I dumped this keyboard because the keys are noisy.

Hey there, the keyboard has a sponge web base instead of a mechanical keyboard, it's very quiet.

I would say around average. It isn't quiet but I have heard worse. If you are doing a lot of chatting, and quiet is your main selling point. I would probably look for another. Still like the keyboard, but I don't have many worries on how noisy it is.

The space bar is louder but still very quiet compared to a mechanical keyboard
