About MechaKeys

You can install the app, select a sound pack, and hear different sounds for each key category, with separate sounds for downstrokes and upstrokes. You can create an account to count keystrokes, earn digital keycaps, and join weekly keystroke leaderboards. The app has no ads, and keystroke count reporting can be disabled. Ideas for new sound packs can be shared through the subreddit, Discord, or email.
