I need kits with a small speaker that can be toggled to make those click or beep sounds when the keys actuate. That way I can get tactile with linear switches. Seriously why did they stop doing these. on keybards I loved the old ones, I need this but on a new board that can go 6kro over USB or better.

Get a Zenith ZKB-2. It comes with a clicker, full NKRO, excellent switches and had better build quality than whatever the board is you're using at the moment ;) .

That sounds exactly like what a sound emitting toy gun that kids love.

What you need more than a speaker kit is a dictionary. :p

technically that would be auditory feed back not tactile. but its an idea

The new Planck has this.

IBM 6112884 + Hasu's converter is not unreasonably priced and has an infinitely adjustable beep. It can go all the way from "Barely Audible" to "Uncomfortably Loud". Actually you can turn it down so much that it's off. There's no detent or anything, but it`s off just the same. I've got one of those Zeniths, though, and it is indeed nice. The procedure to turn the clicker on and off is really arcane, though, it's something like "Hold two specific keys while the machine boots", IIRC, and there's no volume knob for it, it's the volume it is. I suppose you could resort to 19th century techniques to quiet it (The expression "Put a sock in it" came from the common method of quieting a gramaphone player without an actual volume control of some kind; stuff a sock in the horn) but I don't know if you could make it louder if you wanted it.

Hmm.. you could do that, add a noise insulating layer around the whole damn thing and then try typing. Feelios will be degraded but at least the sound wouldn't be as loud

"They" stopped making these? Dunno, Kinesis Advantage, for example, is still produced and available.

well kniesis is such a niche thing that almost doesn't exist...

What is "kniesis"? I don't know that either.
