Is it as cool as shown in Die Hard 4.0? Specially the keystroke sound?

It's completely silent, so no probably not (though I don't recall the sound the keyboard makes in that movie.) I bought a mechanical keyboard because I wanted a loud keyboard that made a nice satisfying sound with each keystroke, and bought this for typing silently.

It feels mechanical. Clicky clacky! And yet, not too loud. It's a pleasure to type with.

The keys are really quiet, it will take time to get used to it though since the layout of the keys are not like any other keyboards. I catch myself hitting the \ key when I want to delete a letter, but all in all I like it and am sure others will as well.

It has softer keys, more like a computer keyboard. It is a little on the stiffer side though.

I bought this for my kid, so I'm not the one playing it. But, I did notice that the keys feel more like a piano than an old Casio keyboard I had. My old Casio was like a "switch", either on-or-off, and you could feel that mechanism as you pressed the key. This new Casio is more like a piano, but I don't recall if the loudness works like a piano (soft if you hit the key soft, loud if you hit the key hard)... I want to say it does.

No; it is missing the § key, which I use a lot. Plus, there is a trick to getting either the sound or the screen to change intensity.

It is quieter than say a stock Dell keyboard. It more or less has a rather muffled thunk type of sound compared to clicking. I'm a programmer / sys admin and I don't completely touch type, nor do I type 60 wpm. So your mileage may vary.

I haven't opened it. So I don't know. But the keys are pretty quiet when I pound on 'em during pvp.

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.

No, it does not. A full 88 key board has more sound effects. This one works good for me. This is a cheaper keyboard. You get what you pay for.

Hey, David. It's mainly the green LED back-lit keys. I recommend the expert edition though. As all it's keys are programmable, it does have the green LED back-lit keys, and it's just a lot more fun to look at. :)

I would call it pretty quiet. There is a little sound as the rubber/silicon key membrane slips in and out of the plastic case but nothing like a keypad that was specifically designed to make a sound. That said, if you need absolute silence, this may not be the best product for your use case.

Yes! i LOVE it. While the onscreen keyboard was OK for short notes, it was way too slow for anything longer. Having this keyboard was one of my favorite upgrade features.

There is a very small amount of movement whenever you touch the keys. It is much more noticeable at first -- I thought I'd never get used to it -- but after a week or so I didn't notice it at all. If someone else uses my macbook they will often comment on it -- because they notice the difference in "touch". It's definitely worth getting used to, though -- a clean (and dry) keyboard is a happy keyboard!

No, it has a very nice look and an incredible sound & feel to the keys. Great buy as well.

It's all or nothingThe software is downloaded from the logitech site and you can choose any shade of color you wantThe keys are not individually colored, it's the whole keyboard and display or nothing, I still find it pretty cool.WASD keys are light gray as are the arrow keys.

It is, for me at least. The keys feel more responsive, more... travel and spring to them (hard to describe). It also seems to have a little more spacing between the keys, or at least it feels like it does. One other detail I like is having the numeric keypad on the side when I need it. All-in-all, absent the solar charging issues, its a very good keyboard (IMHO). I hope this helps.
