mechanical keyboard sounds - 2023 EMACS

Question

These kinds of sounds can be “marbled” by using mods like the Polyfill Mod and the Tempest Tape Mod. Trunk Records released a 2019 album consisting of these kinds of sounds, with tracks like “Fjell”, “Kyuu”, and “TGR Alice”. That album was recorded by Tae Ha Kim, who also runs a popular YouTube channel with many videos featuring these sounds. (15[1])Products like Gateron’s Silent Black and Silent Yellow (15[1])soften these kinds of sounds by adding (15[1])rubber padding to the stem. (-5[1])The adjective “thocky” is used to describe particularly deep (15[1])kinds of these sounds. These sounds are quieter when using linear (*) switches like the Cherry MX Red, as opposed to tactile switches that have a small “bump” of resistance. For 10 points, name these notoriously loud and clacky sounds produced by a specific type of computer input device. ■END■ (10[1])
