Apple
keyboard sounds.

Apple has not shipped a mechanical keyboard since the 1990s. Every current Apple keyboard is a scissor mechanism, which means a shallow, bright tap with no switch behind it — and it is the single most common starting point for people looking to add a mechanical sound in software.

Every Apple
on one page.

Each button plays a short phrase typed on that switch family. Where a keyboard is sold in more than one switch, every option gets its own button — those versions genuinely do not sound alike.

Apple Magic Keyboard

Shallow scissor travel with a bright, plasticky tap. There is no switch here, but the sound is high and quick rather than deep.

MacBook Air and MacBook Pro

The keyboard TypeLouder was built for. Quiet, clean, and shallow — every pack is an upgrade, and the linears blend in most naturally at first.

These are recordings of the switch family, not of each exact keyboard. Switch options move between model years, regions, and retailers — check the listing before buying on the strength of a match here.
