Are the keys quiet enough to type with in class?

I have not used it much cause I feel it is a little bit small for my fingers.

Its a very quiet keyboard compared to a regular desktop keyboard ( e.g. mid 2000s Dell desktop keyboard)

Yes! That's why I bought it as well. It's not completely silent but it's quieter than a normal keyboard

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.

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

They are not very loud. They are soft, but not specifically so. There is some klack too the keys, but it is softer than your average keyboard in my opinion.

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

In my opinion and experience, there is no such thing as truly quite. A lot depends on how hard you hit the strokes. The keys on this one are like you find on laptops. So yes, they are the quietest, I have found. I bought 3 of these. Quite keys were one of the main reason

I found it to be very quiet which was my primary reason for choosing this model. If you have longer fingernails, II suspect it will "click" . I really love this keyboard! Good luck"

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 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.

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

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!
