the keyboard be a little louder than I have hope but nothing near the worn keyboard that it replace . the key seem to feel durable and the multicolored option of back light be very cool . I can not really say anything about its durability at this time since I have only have it for a month . I can say that it seem to be work perfectly . like other review it would have be nice if the lighting nob be actually a sound nob but its a minor complaint . I miss have specific button pre-programmed for open certain program like calculator . I understand this be programmable but I have not even look into it . its not a concern . I would recommend this product . it feel great , look sleek and make typing the dark a dream .
