Yesss, another Model-M post, this always allows me to shamelessly promote one of my pet projects: https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring "This project emulates the sound of my old faithful IBM Model-M space saver bucklespring keyboard while typing on my notebook, mainly for the purpose of annoying the hell out of my coworkers."

I couldn't get it to run on Windows, so I wrote one that would: https://github.com/tom-seddon/GfyKeys https://github.com/tom-seddon/GfyKeys I think there was some stuff that bucklespring does that mine doesn't, but once I'd got it basically working, I found I didn't really like it all that much. So I didn't bother doing anything more with it.

  It doesn't seem to work on Windows 10 :(

    Well, that is now beginning to look like a theme... It worked when I wrote it, but maybe one of the updates has changed something. I'll have a quick peek next week. Thank you for trying it, at least ;)

      It's one of those things where I know I'd go bonkers within 10 minutes, but still feel the strange desire to try it :P If you need any debugging info, just leave another comment here as a reply. I go through my replies every so often.

Just tried this out, and I'm definitely getting a kick out of it. Though I do have a bug(?) report: the "-s" (stereo width) option doesn't seem to have any effect using version 1.4.0 here on my Ubuntu system. "-s 0" sounds the same as "-s 100" to me.

The fact that it properly implements stereo is kind of amazing. I'm also glad that it is trivially turned off... :). Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I might have to turn this into a Mac menu bar app to make it easier to use and control. (Hmm... I wonder if I could add binaural positioning...) (Oh wait, that already exists! I bet it'll sound great with my soon-to-arrive, head-tracking Audeze Mobius.)
