Is this a quiet keyboard or are the keys noisy when you strike them? Thanks.

I would say this keyboard is right in the middle of the two, because it is not loud, or quiet when i "strike" the keys. I have had this keyboard for about 2 months now, and i still love it.

Its reasonably quiet; if your in the room, you'll hear someone using it, but it still has a nice feel.

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

It's not super loud and clicky. But it's not silent, either. I'd say average for a keyboard. Can you hear your current keyboard? I'd test that with someone to get a baseline.

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's pretty quiet. The quietest keyboard I have ever owned. Had mine for almost 6 months and I use it very heavily. Outstanding product for the price

The keystrokes are quiet. It's not the loud clacking noise, but a very quiet tapping.

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.

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.

Yes, mine is very quiet and I really like it. My previous keyboard was very noisy when typing and people complained on conference calls, "who's mad at their keyboard" haha. So I searched for a quieter option and I love this logitech KB, it's the best keyboard I've had, great feel and I'm a very fast typist, it works great.

Very quiet. Not silent, but definitely the quietest keyboard I've ever used, by far. (I'm a loud typist as well.)

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.

It does not make a loud clacking noise but it does make noise. The keys are softer than the traditional desktop keyboards I have used. When I was typing, my friend did hear the keys over the phone and he said it's audible like a regular keyboard.

It's moderate in noise. Probably less than MS kb but not by much.Edit: After sitting down and using it I would say it's just a tad quieter than the MS keyboards, not as loud as the old (and well loved by me) IBM keyboards from the early 90's. It certainly would be annoying still in a library if you're a quick typist, say 60+ wpm.Also, I can confirm I have to move it between USB ports when it goes missing, about 2x a month as other people have mentioned in reviews.

Yeah, it is very quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it isn't clicky at all. I'd recommend it.

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

hmmm, it has a soft click, not as loud as some -- I really don't notice it. The click is not sharp like many keyboards, but soft.

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.

It is quieter than a mechanical keyboard but if you type quickly there is a sound made that is louder than a "quiet" keyboard, it is not loud but it does have a sound.
