Keyboard Sounds is a free application that makes any keyboard sound like a Mechanical Keyboard. It includes 11 built in profiles, a profile editor, and application rules.

Getting Started

Installation

Keyboard Sounds can be installed as a desktop application or as a Python package. The desktop application is recommended for most users as it is easier to install and use.

Desktop Application (Windows only)

⬇️ Download

Currently the desktop application is only available for Windows. The Python package can be used on any platform that supports Python.

The desktop application still requires the command line to be installed on your system. On first launch, the application will check that both Python and the required Python packages are installed.

You may need to restart the application after doing this for the changes to take effect.
