What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm

It describes silent linear switches, but does not provide a measured noise level. Avoid connecting through a laptop hub, and turn off the backlight when connecting to a tablet, as advised in the listing.

Customer feedback highlights the keyboard's noise level and perceived quality. That makes the reported quieter sound particularly relevant to shared desks, though it does not establish a measured noise level.

- Customer feedback praises the keyboard's perceived quality.
