Mechanical Keyboards Sound Tests

Mechanical keyboards offer a wide range of sound profiles, from deep and thocky to sharp and clicky. Whether you're a gamer, typist, or just a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, the sound of your keyboard matters.
That’s why I’ve tested various mechanical keyboards under identical conditions—so you can hear and compare their true sound profiles before making a decision.
