Is this keyboard quiet? I have a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro v2.0 and LOVE this, but typing on it is noisy

Super quiet. Unless you bang on the keys, people around where I work can't even hear me typing.

While I do not know what qualifies as quiet in your mind, it doesn't "click" like traditional keyboards as the profile is very thin.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around "tendency to type loud." Is that something like a 'lead foot?' My keyboard clicks are audible; no one has commented that it is louder or quieter than any other keyboard I have had, but it has been noticed that I type faster. However, sadly does not eliminate the mistakes. We think the keys are a tad bit larger than other keyboards we have had.

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

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"

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.

Its pretty close to our laptop key board... can't really say. I personally like clicking/typing noise and I kind a think its not loud...

Yes it is. It's a little loud when typing... but I sure LOVE this keyboard. I hope that helps.

I would say fairy quiet, it's not as quite as the silicon ones, but definitely better than many logitech keyboards.the best way is to go to the shop a try it out, I did that.

I wouldn't say it's any louder than a standard mouse click... Honestly, what you really have to worry about is how loud the keyboard is.

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.

This keyboard is actually very quiet. I would consider it a "soft touch" keyboard. There is almost no perceptible noise when typing.

It is considerably quieter then my emachine keyboard and I really don't notice it much when busy typing

It's actually quite noisy. Other than that it is a really great keyboard. The only downside is the noise.

Yes it is quiet and windows compatible. But an even better keyboard is the "Ultra Slim Design BTC 6310U USB Chiclet-style Keyboard". It is also cheaper!

no! infact i just gave it up.... too much hassle with that and lack of home and end keys in an otherwise nice little keyboard microsoft; bought a microsoft arc wireless keyboard for a bit more -- same one that i use in my office -- recommend it.

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.
