Haptyk is the mechanical keyboard sound app for Mac that uses a hidden accelerometer inside Apple Silicon MacBooks to play keyboard sounds matching how hard you actually type. Soft press, soft click. Hard press, loud clack. No other Mac keyboard sound app does this.

WHY HAPTYK IS DIFFERENT
Apps like Klack, Thock, and Mechvibes play the same sound at the same volume regardless of how you type. Haptyk reads real impact force from the built-in MacBook accelerometer at ~1,000 times per second, then picks the right sound intensity to match your keystroke.
Every keystroke sound effect in Haptyk is velocity-sensitive. When you tap lightly, you hear a soft click. When you slam a key, you hear a deep, resonant clack. This is not random variation: Haptyk classifies each press into soft, medium, hard, or slam tiers using real accelerometer data, creating keystroke sound effects that feel organic and never repetitive. That is why users call it the best keyboard sound mac app in the market.
A typical keyboard sound app mac users try plays a random sample on every keystroke. Haptyk is different because it taps into the MacBook's accelerometer via undocumented IOKit APIs and delivers sub-millisecond latency through a native Core Audio engine written in C.
