TYPEWRITER SOUND ON YOUR KEYBOARD

10/20/2009 Don Caprio No comments

Are you one of those who would prefer computer keyboards to make that click-click typewriter sound? Or you just want your keyboard to make a sound when pressed, something like an indicator? Then clickey is made for you. It is a very portable Microsoft Windows software that comes with twenty six different click sounds with adjustable volume control. It's easy to work with, just run the executable file, select your desired click sound by pressing A-Z on your keyboard, set the volume and you're good to go. It runs in stealth mode so nobody has to know what's making the click sound!

ClicKey Features:

-Choose from among 26 built-in sounds.
ClicKey contains 26 built-in percussive typing sounds. Some are classic typewriter sounds, others are subtle short clicks, beeps, and boops, while others are more attention-getting and might be appropriate for an on-screen keyboard or public kiosk.
-Independent volume control.
Since you might prefer ClicKey's clicks to be almost subliminal, its sounds can be made as quiet as you like.
-On-screen user-interface, or invisible startup shortcut.
To keep ClicKey as lightweight (just 42 kbytes) and unobtrusive as possible, I designed it to be launched from a Windows shortcut (probably placed in the "Startup" group) containing its sound specification commands (see details below).
-Heard and not seen.
No advertising splash screen and nothing in the Windows "tray" to clutter your screen.
-Nothing to "install" or remove.
ClicKey is just "run" as a stand-alone application. It does not need to be "installed", it places nothing in the registry, and can simply be deleted once it is no longer wanted.
