This is an excellent keyboard with a couple minor issues. It feels very nice to type on and is as quiet, or quieter than a standard rubber dome keyboard -- with an asterisk there.
Why the asterisk? The stabilized keys -- spacebar, in particular -- have considerable stabilizer rattle out of the box. The good thing is that the spacebar stabilizer is VERY easy to remove for lubrication -- I used dielectric grease, and the spacebar is nice and quiet without any discernible difference to how it feels. If it starts to feel mushy, you used too much.
Considering the price of this keyboard, should the spacebar be so rattly out-of-the-box? Absolutely not, and that is a fair criticism. But with some dielectric grease and ~5 minutes of work it's an excellent office keyboard.
My other criticism is, as previously alluded to, the price. This keyboard is nice but it doesn't exactly have the highest build quality. That's not a complaint as it'll last years under any reasonable use case -- but the build quality doesn't command such a high price compared to other options, in my opinion.
