The ListeningMuseum.
ilovefrog: i like the sound when im pressing the buttons but i can't stand listening to them in a recording its horrible
phantomathkg: The UX of the website is kind of horrible. After a few clicks it prompted to subscribe. I understand it takes time to build the thing up, but the disruption is huge.
joelkoen: Looks like a cool website, but after I test a few different keyboards it prompts me to subscribe. After pressing 'maybe later', it comes back again and again, only letting me test three different keyboards before bugging me again. Completely unusable.
nsxwolf: HHKB sounds nothing like mine. Weird to type on it and hear a totally different sound.Model M sounds reasonably close, Unicomp Classic sounds very wrong.
ares623: Why do they want my email though? Well, I can guess why. But why would some random email be useful for such a site?
akashwadhwani35: Removing it
thenthenthen: I made (read: assembled) a lot of keyboards and tuned the sound to my liking, sometimes i would record the sound to share it with friends but the recordings always turned out horrible, not at all what I was hearing.
al_borland: I read the note at the bottom about the recordings coming from the community, but I think that variation limits the value significantly.The Cherry Blue vs Cherry Blue (Full Travel) for example. I would expect the full travel to be louder, the normal sound plus the bottom out, but it seems quieter and more generic. The Cherry Browns were the same way.Having recordings where there is a lot of control around the recording (same room, mic, distance, levels, etc) and the only variable is the keyboard, would be much more interesting. As it stands, I don’t feel like it’s giving me a true representation that I can use. I’m sure some are, but if I haven’t used a particular keyboard before, I can’t be a good judge of if the sound is accurate or not.
