Mechanical keyboard for when you don't have a mechanical keyboard

softmech

This is a little Python script that plays a random sound whenever a key is pressed/released. Specifically, I sampled my CMStorm Quickfire TK with Blue Cherry switches. Use it to annoy people when you don't have a mechanical keyboard with you.

Dependencies

To install dependencies (Ubuntu 20.04):

$ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Launching (needs root)

$ sudo ./softmech.py

Additional sounds

If you want to add your own sounds just put them in a folder and change the sounddir variable. Sounds to be played on KeyDown must end with "down.wav", sounds to be played on KeyUp must end with "up.wav"
