Are the keys soft or hard?

The keys are hard. They have a nice amount of travel and good feedback in your fingers as you type. Regarding the discussion in the previous answers about this keyboard being "cramped," bear in mind it's a cover for an iPad Air. There's a limit to how big it can be! But it is actually very pleasant to type on and very comfortable despite the small size.

The keys are hard. As for being cramped, yeah ya gotta live with that if you want a piece of hardware for a keyboard on a slim-profile device. Anyway I haven't found it be be a problem, love this keyboard case.

For me they are sticky. the space bar, shift and other keys have to be pressed fairly hard and sometimes stick.

The keys are a soft rubber, Not the hard plastic ones like you are used to. It does a great job as a keyboard for your tablet.... a lot better than just using the hard flat screen itself.

Very easy, just be very gentle, as with many kbs the keys can be dislodged and if one of the small prongs are broken you got a problem.

I describe it as medium, but I'd say on the softer side. It's not like flat keyboards as often found in laptops, but certainly as easy to press, and the keys aren't nearly as high or hard to press as most "clack clack clack" keyboards. This beast is cheap, though. You can't go wrong, and just return it if it doesn't suit, I say! I've had several of these and loved them all.

They are hard keys. They are set in an aluminum frame and recess into the frame when depressed giving it a different feel.

No they are not. You get the same sound regardless of how hard or soft you hit the keys.

The keys are semi-weighted. Feels very good to play, they are also pressure sensitive as well.

The keys are very sensitive. I got this piano for a handicapped kid and the keys respond to her kicking then softly.

Yes, they are decently soft, not very soft. They are not quiet. But not the rickety sound that old keyboards make.I seem to understand your question. This is a decent keyboard for the price, but if you are looking at a very comfortable, soft key keyboard that's really quiet, this is not it.

the keys are hard plastic. I love it. I've use it all the time and tell my husband -it's the best one IO have had

the keys on the board are soft. The price is right considering the stores want more than double and the quality is good Go for it

They are hard keys and yes they are in the same spot as a normal keyboard (without 10key) They are raised keys but they are only slightly raised. This is very smooth to type on and its super light weight.

Sorry for not responding sooner. YES! The keys ARE wiggly. However, that was a selling point for me. I'm a nervous kind that finds moving the keys back and forth a pleasant habit while considering my next step. Silly? YEP!

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. If you look very closely at the product images you can see the

They feel like regular keyboard keys. They are just situated differently. Hope this helps.

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