Klack
Adds mechanical keyboard sounds to your Mac typing
The verdict
If you miss the sound of a mechanical keyboard while typing on a MacBook, Klack plays a clack for every key, with separate down and up sounds and a small pitch change so it never sounds like a loop. It costs $4.99 once on the Mac App Store, with every update included. The developer's standalone version is a separate purchase with extra features, so pick one store and stick with it.
Get it if
You type on a MacBook or Magic Keyboard and miss the clack of a mechanical board.
Skip it if
You share an office or a couch with someone who will hear every key you press.
