Trying this out. I like it more than I thought I would. But a couple comments:

1) The sounds appear to all be the same, regardless of key. Seems there should be some subtle variation in the sound, even if it just a very slight modulation in pitch? This would better map with real mechanical keyboards.

2) The sounds appear too far delayed to me. Like it's slightly out of sync w/ my typing. I turned off the keyup sound—which helps—but not enough. It may be this is a limitation you can't overcome.

3) The sound quality seems low. Maybe obtain higher quality samples and/or don't compress it so much?

I'm using it right now—it seems like keys towards the right get put more on the right channel of audio and the ones on the left more on the left, which is a nice feature.

I think some subtle variation (like, adding an effect randomly or having ~10 recordings) could make this even better.
