@devouringone3 That is actually coming from a speaker in the keyboard itself. It's a substitute for the keys being linear and non-tactile/clicky. It beeps every time a key registers. You can turn it off with a key combination.
That does sound quite loud. I'm shopping around for a mechanical keyboard. Right now I'm thinking I'll go with a Ducky keyboard with cherry mx brown switches. Those are the easiest to press and they're quieter than the cherry mx blue switches.
@AppleSouffle My first mechanical keyboard (I now have quite a lot and I'm kind of ashamed of it because I really only use one at a time, the one I prefer) was a Ducky with brown Cherries. This one is just enough clicky, just enough tactile, it's is a very good start point but in my case it left me wondering how typing on a keyboard more clicky would feel. So I bought a Ducky Blue, and now I'm typing on that buckling springs I found in my school's recycling bin. Definitely the most noisy/tactile
@AppleSouffle Personally I like it more when it is silent... but I do like the tactile notch and unfortunately most of the times both these features only are available together.
Topre keyboard when you bottom out and are not interested in learning to not bottom out (like me), is the one I prefer. I use the silent version and the keyboard becomes the most silenced mechanical keyboard possible, and it feels the same as a non-silenced one. It costs a lot less energy than my Model M but...(1)
@AppleSouffle (1)... I am less accurate too, because the keys are both silent and semi-linear (not clicky, only asmooth gradient is felt). Cherry blues and Buckling springs makes you very accurate, cherry blues are more balanced and less hard to push but Buckling springs has the best accuracy of all the keyboard on the earth. Right now, using it, I feel like I'm typing on a type-writer and that makes me very accurate.
@AppleSouffle Brown are better for gaming than blues because their reset point is closer than their actuation point, you can make better and easier flip jumps quicker in games like Unreal Tournament and double steps in Stepmania (DDR for PC) are easier too. I prefer browns to blues. I don't like anything higher than 55 g in actuation force so that's why I wouldn't recommend you Cherry Black, Clear or white ALPS. But that's only me and it has cost me a lot to experiment/find what I truly prefered
What, is that weird noise coming from your computer every time you press a key? That cartoonish sound

@TreyRust WOW! Cool feature hahaha, didn't know such things existed.
Playing stepmania with this thing (and the feedback sound on) must be quite fun.
Can you change the sound, do you have other samples to choose from?
