Title: Post your keyboard sound recordings!
Post by: 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 :P

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 :D

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

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.

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

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 :P

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 :p

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).

I'd really like some longer ones because I actually find them nice to listen to while working. The only longer recording I've found was someone typing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24tWz7gmngI) on an older (still cherry) Razer Blackwidow on youtube.

Lastpilot's video is beautiful, gives the impression of playing musical instruments.

Took my goldtouch out of the closet, and it sounds surprisingly nice.

Dood, thank you so much for this video! I was so very curious to hear what the QMX would sound with 55g linears!

Do they change the feel at all? Reduced key travel?

It was recorded with my webcam, sorry lol. When I bottom out it feels a lot firmer - in a good way, but it doesn't reduce key travel. I think it's because these have a hole for the keycap stem unlike o-rings which attach onto the stem. Now it's pretty much as quiet as my Type-S which surprised me  :)

I really really like the sound that the QMX clips give to the switches. I know someone who plans on throwing some of these into their custom build, so it's nice to hear what a full board of these sounds like. :)

Just for the sake of indexing my typing videos along with the rest, here are some I made with my Hammer Eagle Alps board and my FAME w/ blue Alps. The Hammer is really quiet with its CF plate and sorbothane dampening beneath the PCB. The FAME has a plastic top case and a metal bottom, so it has a pretty unique sound. I like it!

First attempt at making a video.

The background noise is pretty bad.

Have no idea what it was.

Ill need to make another.

i recorded these like 18 months ago. the point wasn't to record the sound but to examine how i type, i do touch type but i appear to only use two fingers on my right hand, it got me upset. I am also a jack-hammer when i type, which why all my rubber dome keyboards died so quickly.

Keeping this thread alive. It may be strange, but I love listening to keyboard audio; sometimes just to relax while heading home from work.

Here are a few short clips of my Pok3r while doing some tests with sound dampening in the case. Bonus points if you can guess the switch type without reading ahead.

My DC-3014 w/ blue Alps. My favorite vintage to use at the moment. My FAME is out of commission thanks to the *****in' (amazing) Hebrew doubleshots on them that I don't want to shine, so no more awesome metal backed board until I get my Focus FK-555.


PBT caps from Dell AT-101

I feel like the color fits this board, which is a naturally warm color.

You can really hear the kind of ping that blue Alps have in this video. I dislike Alps ping quite a bit. So much so that I lubed every spring in my Hammer Alps board individually just to kill the ping. Green and Blues have it the worst!

Made a little typing video of my end game and all-time favorite vintage Alps board, my FAME keyboard with complicated blue Alps and Hebrew doubleshots. I will likely never type on this beauty again for fear of shining the caps.

Also ANSI-modded and painted the plate an iridescent blue while the bottom panel is painted with a colorshift paint and 2K urethane clear. :D


I love how it sounds with those caps. It's got a different sound signature to it compared to the modern Tai Hao caps I had on the board before this as well as the stock key caps it came with.

Thanks again for this, Bromono. I very much appreciate the key caps I got off of you!

Here's a sound comparison for vintage MX whites, vintage whites in Zealio housings, and then modern MX green done on a bent case Infinity w/ PBT caps. That board makes a fantastic switch tester, haha.

Just made one for my Orion v2 and Lightpad with complicated blue Alps, as those from 2013 would call them:


Actually, people used to call them all sorts of things before SKCM and SKCL were decided on. I forget what those were though. Alps CM or Alps Bigfoot switches? Oh, the dark ages of Alps were a strange time.

This is probably the only time that I can say that the ping sounds amazing. I'm tempted to do this with whites and greens myself now, haha! I think it's because it's so musical sounding. It's not just terrible noise. :D
