Is it quiet when you type?

Extremely quiet... I'm very happy with it. The only thing I would add is back lighting but I think that might impossible.

It really is quite quiet, but if you type with nails hitting the keys first, it will still make noise. But the keys feel solid with the click feel that you would expect from a regular keyboard

The laptop is fairly quiet general. When doing light tasks like email and MS Office work it is very quiet. It isn't silent but I wouldn't consider it loud as normal office/home noise will easily drown it out. When working on more demanding tasks the cooling fan kicks in and the noise is a bit more noticeable. Really at no point have I thought the noise excessive or distracting.

If you mean does the keyboard "click" when you type on it, no. Also, when I use it to read or look at items in bed, it is silent - doesn't wake my spouse.

Mine is extremely quiet! I did go into the settings (via the browser) and set it on quite mode to achieve this level of quietness.

No, I barely notice it. But I type with an external keyboard 60-70% of the time.

It's relatively quiet, louder than most laptops but not by much. And nowhere near the volume of my mechanical keyboard.

Not extremely quiet. I love my Macally5, but it's not totally quiet. I wish I could record this sound. It's pretty light, but it does exist. The keyboard that came with my iMac was totally silent.

And Brenda, after I got off work, I played around with my keyboard. I guess I'd begin to concur that it's quieter than normal keyboards. I don't find it completely silent, but it's not as loud as a normal keyboard. As others say, it could partly be the way you type, too.

There is some noise depending on how hard you type. However, I type while on conference calls and have not had anyone comment (and my co-workers would comment, believe me).

I have 4 different keyboards in the office, one is very quiet - the other 3 the same. The Impecca keystroke noise would be considered typical.

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.

Yes. Very quiet. I love mine. I have had it for about 5 months now and so far it has been worth the money I paid.

It's quiet, but I would not call it whisper quiet. Maybe "low talking" quiet.

Yes, it is quieter than most that i have used. I am an accountant and have have used calculators for many many years. FYI. when i bought this i went ahead and bought two of them because the price was a good deal. The first one lasted about 9 monthes and then it started acting really weird. Wrong numbers, decimals wrong, etc so i had to junk it, The second one is doing good. I really like the keys layout, that is why i bought them. I have five of these at my business and they are work horses. The one bad one must have been a fluke.

It is not noisy. A few keyboard clicks, one little beep and the sound like a door knob turning.

Yes, but its no where near as loud as a mechanical keyboard. *MUCH*? not really, but it is louder.
