The sound of rapid typing on a keyboard.

It awes me. I found myself entranced by the sound as I was transcribing files for my Let's Play. It helped that I wasn't looking at the screen or keyboard and thus better able to focus on just the sound. Although it helps that I'm easily fascinated by sounds (and particularly voices) anyway.

In fact, this could be expanded to simply rapid typing and not needing to look at the keyboard while doing so. I happily and gleefully ignore the home row, or at least I start on the home row and then gleefully ignore as I start typing, and can still tell when I make a typo. Usually, at least.

Technically, you shouldn't need to look to find the home row — there should be a key with a raised ridge on it. F?

I don't need to look to find the home row because yes, there is a ridge on the F and J keys. I meant not needing to look while typing, period. I'm easily awed.

Its because its a sound of getting work done that it awes me. Same thing with the sound of a pen/pencil scratching against paper when you write with it.

I miss my old mechanical typewriter. Now there's a nice, satisfying sound while typing:

CLACK CLACK CLACKITY CLACK CLACK *DING*

But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.

idea: Do something like this with 100 90s keyboards.

I love listening to fast typists. My little sister goes at something like 120 WPM and it's hypnotic.

I like this sound too.

Never be without a Hat! Hot means heat. I don't care if your usage dates to 1300, it's my word, not yours. My Pm box is open.

This is one of my favorite sounds in the whole wide world. I'm always sad when my keyboard is really quiet. XD
