Yes! KeyboardSFX works with any keyboard - laptops, external keyboards, mechanical or membrane. The global keyboard hook captures keystrokes system-wide regardless of the hardware you're using.
You can either use a virtual audio cable (like VB-Cable or VoiceMeeter) to route KeyboardSFX output to OBS, or simply let KeyboardSFX play through your speakers/headphones and capture it via desktop audio in OBS. The app also supports selecting specific output devices for maximum flexibility.
Absolutely! KeyboardSFX supports custom themes using WAV, MP3, OGG, and FLAC audio files. Create a theme folder with your sound files, configure the mapping in a simple JSON file, and you're ready to go. You can even share your creations on Steam Workshop!
KeyboardSFX adds no perceptible input latency to your typing. The keyboard hook runs in a separate high-priority thread, and audio playback is triggered with under 50ms latency - fast enough that sounds feel perfectly synchronized with your keystrokes.
Not at all. KeyboardSFX is designed to be lightweight and efficient. It uses minimal CPU and memory resources, running quietly in the background without impacting your system performance or typing speed.
KeyboardSFX supports WAV, MP3, OGG, and FLAC audio formats for custom themes. WAV files are recommended for the lowest latency, but all formats work well for creating immersive keyboard soundscapes.
