Thocky — Keyboard Sounds

Thocky — a mechanical keyboard sound playground

Ever wanted to hear a keyboard before buying it?
Thocky puts 36 switch sounds — recorded from real mechanical keyboards — at your fingertips.

◆ 36 switches
• The classics: Blue (clicky), Red (linear), Brown (tactile), Black
• Keycap comparison: the same switch sounds different with ABS vs PBT caps
• Full-travel versions: satisfying bottomed-out strokes
• Electrocapacitive: Topre, Topre Purple, and the legendary HHKB thock
• Community favorites: Holy Panda, Alpaca, NK Cream, Oreo, Crystal Purple, Inks, Box Navy, Tealios
• Vintage: Blue Alps, IBM buckling spring, an antique manual typewriter
• Office membrane: the soft rubber-dome clatter, no clicks
• Just for fun: a real typewriter (ding on Enter!) and a duck

◆ Feels like the real thing
• Separate press/release sounds, subtle per-key variation
• Dedicated samples for spacebar, enter, and backspace
• Haptics tuned to each switch — rigid for clicky, soft for linear
• Multi-touch typing with zero-latency response

◆ Little delights
• Keys light up in the switch color with tiny sparks
• A floating preview shows what you type, then fades away
• A tap counter tracks your daily thocks

At the office, on the train, or before bed —
whenever you miss that mechanical feel, just thock.
