Author Topic: Post your keyboard sound recordings! (Read 26767 times)

HPE1000 · « **on:** Fri, 14 March 2014, 15:45:03 »

Spamray suggested a thread like this, and I had been thinking about recording the sounds of all of my keyboards for a while now, so why not.

Everyone can post their sounds recordings, please use a half way decent mic though

All of my recordings are done ~5 inches away from the keyboard, and sound very accurate.

I will add more recordings later on, I really wish I could have recorded the capacitive buckling springs from my kishsaver, but I just recently disassembled it. I also might put my poker 2 mx blacks in an aluminum FMJ case with some GMK doubleshots on it to do a recording.

This is my coolermaster XT with tactile grays.

The recording is kind of sucky and I was typing a little harder than usual to try and get the ping sound to pick up.

Tactile greys, feel the burn

I think bottoming out is the best way to do sound recordings, it seems most people bottom out while typing, plus it will keep all the recordings consistent.

Someone send me a topre board so I can record the sound XD

I tried recording my HHKB but the program I am using skips silence...and yeah it didn't even pick it up. I was attempting to do a typing speed test while recording but my phone was sort of in the way.

Spamray how fast do you type?
I feel like some people who record their typing actually type way to fast and it sounds muddy or you can appreciate the sound.
I'd like to join the bad microphone club and typing too fast to make the typing enjoyable club.

ComradeSniper · « **Reply #15 on:** Sat, 15 March 2014, 00:53:21 »

Oh man, those buckling springs sound even better in the recording than they do as I'm typing on them right now! Does your model M not make that high pitched pingy sound, or is the mic just not picking it up?

Here are a couple of recordings I made a while ago.

Well I was just doing quick typing on a typing test and then hitting some modifiers to try and show some sound differences, I guess it would be better to type some standard text so people can know what was typed.

these links should work I edited previous posts

Nice idea for a thread. Would be interesting to see uploaded WebMs, or audio files as attachments to GH perhaps (unless that's against the ToS). Pomf.se is a decent host I use for WebM videos (example).

Very nice. I think the thick PBT caps help with the sound a lot. Just rubbing my hand over my WASD (without actuating any switches) makes a lot of higher pitched ruckus.

Ohh and CPT, that is a very clicky board you have there

Grim Fandango · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 01 August 2014, 18:17:58 »

What I always appreciate is when people use the exact same setup to compare the sound of different keyboards. So same mic, same distance to the mic etc.

That really gives you a better idea of the sound, because you hear what the sound is like relative to something else. If I just hear a recording from a keyboad, it does not really tell me much. I can make the same keyboard sound very different depending on which mic I use and how I use it. For it to be useful, you need a kind of benchmark.

Thankies, baby. Doesn't it almost sound like there's a popping? Kind of like a much louder Topre??? I've had some people say to to me.

Your 360 Corsa is so damn beautiful, and sounds soo damn great. I just love how the K-customs give that higher pitch sound compared to my plastic case Filco. I'd say the sound of a K-custom is unique because you pretty much only hear the switch because of the entire metal construction which doesn't really produce any sounds. While my Filco, there is kind of a resonance, kind of like how HHKB resonates because of the plastic mounting. At least, that's how I figure it.

Ha, it kind of does! That must be why it's the best MX switch

I think you're right--after putting some drawer liner underneath the PCB in my 360 there's no flex at all anywhere on the board, so it's crazy solid. Definitely contributes a lot to the sound of it (and especially the feel).
