Are the keys quiet? "Soft touch" or the old-fashioned "clickety-clack" sound?

Smooth action but with a nice clakety-clack. Tactile but not stiff. I recommend it.

Keyboard keys are okay - but the mouse click sound is too loud. Not impressed.

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.

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.

for the people saying it makes a clicky clack sound I am assuming they have never used cherry mx keys. it sounds like a typical rubber dome keyboard, no clicky clack sound.

I would say the keys are fairly quiet. Not loud like the cheap keyboards you find else where. It's a great work or school laptop just kind of big

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.

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.

I use blues, but I don't smash the keys, so the sound is more about clicking than banging. I work next to a guy pounds a rubber-dome board all day, and he's definitely louder. For the amount of typing I do in the office, blues are the best choice, but a lighter sound might be appropriate, depending on the background noise.I have used quieter cherry switches. They were quieter, but not much.

It is a little noisy. They offer different key types, so contact them and see if they have quieter keys

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.

Keys are "standard". They do "click" softly, but you do feel the "click" more than you hear it (similar to most laptop key boards).

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.

They are very soft and quiet in comparison to most other gaming keyboards. They make more of a ticking sound than a clacking sound.

Its as noisy as a typical Desktop keyboard. Search elsewhere if you are looking for quiet.

There's no artificial "click" so he probably just meant the noise of typing. It's not a loud 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.

The clicking is silent. The scrolling makes a little noise, probably similar to typing on a non-clicking keyboard.
