Mechvibes

Even though many associate mechanical keyboards with gaming, the truth is that they can be a great upgrade for any computer, as they do feel better to type on. If you cannot use one for whatever reasons, you can still have a slice of the experience, at least from the sound perspective. Mechvibes is a tool designed for anyone who enjoys the sounds of mechanical keyboards.

The app comes with a clean, simple and modern interface that you can get started by selecting one of the many themes available. Considering the role of the app, it is no wonder that other than the themes, the sole adjustment is the volume, which you can increase and decrease as necessary.

In the eventuality that the app does not play mechanical sounds, then the issue can be fixed by reinstalling Visual C++ and restarting the tool. For various games, it is recommended to open the tool with Administrator permissions.

In addition to the standard sounds embedded with the tool, you will be happy to learn that you can add additional sounds. One alternative is to hit on the More Sounds button that takes you to the developer's website where you can download extra files. Once you grab them, make sure to extract to the Custom Folder, an option that can be found by right clicking the tool in the System Tray. Simply restart the app and you can enjoy new sounds.

The program also packs an editor that lets you create, edit and share your sounds with everyone. In fact, you can assign any sounds to your keys via two methods, namely edit them directly in the virtual keyboard on screen or edit on the key list. Take note that Mechvibes does not include a function to help you trim audio files. Then again, there are numerous open source tools out there that are right for the task.
