question answer
Is ThockBoard really free? Yes, 100% free. All 16 sound packs are available to everyone. No premium tiers, no locked features, no usage limits. If you enjoy it, you can buy me a coffee — but there's zero pressure.
question answer
Does ThockBoard collect any data? No. ThockBoard doesn't collect any data. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. Sound files are bundled with the extension — nothing is downloaded from external servers.
question answer
Will ThockBoard slow down my browser? No. ThockBoard uses the Web Audio API to play short sound clips on keystroke. The audio engine is lightweight and only active when typing. CPU usage is negligible.
question answer
Can I use ThockBoard on any website? Yes. ThockBoard works on any website without configuration. Just install it, pick a sound pack, and start typing.
question answer
How do I change the sound pack or volume? Click the ThockBoard icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the popup. From there you can select any of the 16 sound packs and adjust the volume slider.
question answer
Does it work with other browsers like Firefox or Edge? ThockBoard is built for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc). A Firefox version is not planned but the extension uses standard WebExtensions APIs, so it could work with minor adjustments.

ThockBoard adds satisfying mechanical keyboard sounds to every keystroke, on any website.

Choose from 16 carefully crafted sound packs — from the classic Cherry MX Blue click to soothing zen water drops and bamboo chimes. Each pack is synthesized with DSP for realistic, non-repetitive audio.

How it works

ThockBoard listens to keyboard events on whatever page you're typing on — Google Docs, GitHub, Twitter, a plain textarea — and plays a short audio clip for each keystroke. The clips are pre-loaded from bundled audio files, so there's no network request on every key press. The Web Audio API handles playback with near-zero latency.

You pick a sound pack and set the volume from the popup. That's it. No settings page, no account, no configuration file.

Privacy

ThockBoard doesn't collect any data. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. Sound files are bundled with the extension — nothing is downloaded from external servers. The extension doesn't request any permissions beyond what's needed to listen to keyboard events and play audio.

Free forever

ThockBoard is 100% free. All 16 sound packs are available to everyone. There are no premium tiers, no locked features, no usage limits. If you enjoy it, you can buy me a coffee — but there's zero pressure.
