Are the keys made of plastic or rubber? How responsive are they?

I remember the keys are plastic and responsiveness seem normal to me. Rgds.

As others have said, the keys are full size. They're plastic and feel more like a low-end portable organ than a piano-- i.e., they aren't weighted or semi-weighted, and feel a little "springy" as you're playing. I'm used to playing this type of keyboard, so it doesn't bother me, but people who are more used to a piano keyboard may need to adjust to them a bit. There are 4 touch sensitivity settings, so you can set it to three levels of touch sensitivity (low, medium, or high) or turn the touch sensitivity off entirely (the fourth setting).

Yes, the keys are light like a keyboard, not like a piano. Not even like semi-weighted keys. They are however sensitive to velocity.

It's plastic, but the quality is good and it's very responsive, particularly the touchpad. I've had this exact model for three years now. The keyboard is smaller than those in full-sized laptops, but bigger than most netbooks. This laptop is slow in terms of performance, but it works fine for light text editing, web browsing and occasionally watching video. I'm sure there are better (faster, with more/better features) models out there at this point, but this one's good for basics.

It's plastic and I question whether it would survive long term attachment to a keychain. I think the weight of keys might be an issue. So while I can't give you a definite no, I'm kind of leaning that way.

Not mechanical. Gaming keys are rubberized ove I was happy with it. No complaints other then wasd keys are a pain to type with so I leave em off. Long coord for usb. Suggest watching a YouTube video before purchasing. Hope you found out what you wanted any other questions feel free to reply. In class atm but nothing to do so not a bother lol. Have a good day.

The keys do not feel squishy. They feel exactly like a laptop keyboard. I have no idea what actuation and travel distances are, but I am quite satisfied with the keyboard. I use it all day long and it works exactly as I would hope.

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

The keyboard is very responsive. That is the best thing about this particular keyboard is that it is very fast. It is slightly slower than my laptop keyboard, but still very quick and way better than all of the other ones out therer that I have tried (the silicone molded keyboards).

When I first touched the buttons, I was thinking they were rubber. But, I believe they are lightly textured plastic.

I really like the feel of the keys...they have a positive feel, not squishy but sensitive. I like it much better than the Microsoft Natural Elite it replaced.

I would say that they're soft enough. I had a keyboard where keys were even softer than here. It was Genius kb-16e, but they don't make it any longer. New Genius keyboards are not that soft, and most of them have flat keys, which I don't like.

It is made out of hard plastic like a regular keyboard. It is not like the fuzzy, felt-like Surface keyboard.

They do click.. a little. They are like a laptop keyboard....kind of rubbery but not rubber? if that makes sense.

Don't know what you mean by soft, do you mean the click of the keys making a soft sound? If that is it, then it is not overly loud, but makes a slight sound typical of typing. If it's feel then it is the typical hard plastic key feel.

They're more in between. Definitely more substantial than laptop keys as they're also a little thicker, but much shorter than a mechanical keyboard. Try them for yourself :)
