NSL025 Keyboards

Summary

Keyboards is a detailed sound library featuring recordings of four unique computer keyboards, each with its own distinct sound and feel. Every detail, from the subtle differences in switch types to the nuanced dynamics of real-world typing, has been carefully captured to provide an authentic and comprehensive collection of keyboard sounds.

The library features recordings from a Drop Alt mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches, a Logitech G915 TKL with linear switches, a Logitech Craft with butterfly switches, and a Cherry MX Switch Tester, which includes 12 additional switch types. With 15 different switch types in total, the collection ranges from sharp, clicky keystrokes to smooth, muted presses, offering an extensive variety of sounds.

A wide range of typing styles were captured, including single keypresses with varying velocities, rapid and rhythmic keypresses, and multi-key combinations. Full-speed typing sequences were also recorded using Monkeytype.com to ensure natural and realistic key movement. Special attention was given to unique key sounds such as spacebar, enter/return, backspace, escape, and delete.

Recorded with a Sennheiser MKH 8050 microphone and a Zoom F6 recorder, all sounds were captured in pristine 32-bit 192kHz resolution, taking advantage of the MKH 8050’s extended frequency response (up to 50kHz). This makes the sounds perfect for pitching down and creative sound design applications. The final library includes 237 WAV files at 24-bit/192kHz, totaling 1.3GB of high-quality audio, with UCS-compliant metadata for easy searchability.

Whether you need realistic keyboard sounds for film, games, UI design, ASMR or experimental audio projects, Keyboards delivers an ultra-detailed and versatile collection, ready to enhance any production.
