Mechanical Keyboard Sounds: Recordings Of Bespoke And Customised Mechanical Keyboards
Jonny Trunk draws an astute link between ASMR and ‘Mechanical Keyboard Sounds’ in this perfectly peculiar side of recordings by bespoke luxury mechanical keyboard maker, Taeha Types, featuring Recordings of 12 bespoke mechanical keyboards.
Up there with the oddest and most brilliant Trunk sides, ‘Mechanical Keyboard Sounds’ takes a closer look and listen to the ubiquitous tool found on desktops everywhere, and may even make you develop a newfound appreciation for the humble keyboard. Prompted by a neighbour - Stuart London aka futurecrime - to check the growing online scene for bespoke and customised mechanical keyboards, Trunk was struck by how satisfying the sound of a well-tuned keyboard could be. A conversation was started with ‘tuber Taeha Types, who is recognised as the go-to guy for this sorta thing, and the result is this uniquely gratifying slab of 12 recordings of rapid taps made on some of the finest keyboards money can buy.
If one weren’t told otherwise, the recordings may well resemble close-miked documentation of insects, some esoteric ritual, or a game of backgammon sped up, but closer inspection reveals sequences of these flurries that are possibly identifiable as furious delete keying or hammering a return button. And this is where it gets interesting, as each recording reveals to the listener the idiosyncrasies of each keyboard and its custom parts which, like custom built cars, use a huge spectra of parts both vintage and bespoke to achieve the users’ dream build and preferred levels of tactility and clickiness.
The models all range from customised 1986 vintage to bespoke 2019 models made with milled aluminium and lubed with the same grease that NASA use. Stuart London highlights the Nixdorf switches on the ’TGR 910 RE’ as particularly satisfying to his ears, and they are to ours, too, but the ‘IBM P70’ with its tinny plate spring switches is also tickling our fancy, but christ that ‘Chicory KB5160AT would get on our tits if we had to use it all day. Like customised keyboards themselves, this record ain’t for everyone, but you don’t need to like them to enjoy this record, much in the same way we’ve previously enjoyed C Spencer Yeh’s recording of an unplugged RCA Mark II Synth.
