...this is a nice way to at least have some decent audio feedback.

Has some nice perks, like ability to adjust the pitch of the sound or even have it change based on whether shift is held down. I use this all the time on my Macbook and find that I type faster and more confidently hearing that confirmation that a key has been hit correctly.

It's Mac-only, but I imagine there are alternatives out there for other OSes.

Seems like it also might be good for headphone users who can't quite hear their clicking, or a way to have some more fun with linear switches.

This hasn't seen any updates in a very long time, but still seems to be running OK on Yosemite, BTW.

More useful for linear switches than rubber domes, IMHO. At least with RD and tactile switch boards you have tactile feedback of when the switch actuates.

Mac keyboard... or equivalent low profile scissors..

as far as rubber dome goes... I believe mac low profile is superior to TOPRE by far..

Definitely. if I'm typing somewhere loud, I've even put in earbuds to hear the feedback a bit more clearly. Keeps me "in the zone"

topre- I just had to...

On a serious not i think that the best rubber dome is the apple low profile keyboards.

DT-35.
Sifo vouches for this hard and I think that it would be fairly alright if he is willing to splice his pink clack skull with an RD stem to put it on a dome board.

That isn't a keyboard but ONLY an ATM style of input device

.

Cheap and nasty and quite suitable for ignoramuses pretending to like keyboards here on Geekhack Central.

not true..

I happen to think scissor switches are far superior to topre because of reduced friction points..

However, there are no scissor ergodoxes..
