This is the best lmao. Brightened my day! Nice to get to enjoy so many different thocks without having to pull keycaps. And I can be silent when I need to.

Yes, but now I have to spend 100% of my time with headphones on so that my wife doesn’t kick me out of the house 😂.

a fun little app to bring a touch of mechanical keyboard sounds to your non mechanical keyboard.

I thought this was very silly when I first saw it, but figured I’d give it a shot. As someone that usually hates the sound of keyboard keys, I have to say this app is very fun and it does bring me joy. Would be fun to have mouse clicks for trackpad users as well.

Hey, Henry 👋. Thanks for the kind feedback 🙏. Mouse click sounds are already in the backlog 🫡.

This is an incredibly fun app that I want to keep using! I often work with earphones on, and being able to continuously listen to pleasant sounds really boosts my productivity. In particular, there's an option called "carriage return," which plays a satisfying cash register sound every time you hit the return key—super handy (or should I say, satisfying?) for Japanese speakers like me who press it all the time. Some might think, "Do I really need this?" but I highly recommend it because it genuinely improves the quality of your work.

Has worked flawlessly on M5 running 26.3 (25D125). A joy to use, wonderful range of sounds to choose from. This is an app I’ve been wishing for since the early days of Hanx Writer on iOS decades ago. Thank you for developing it! 🙏

Me gusta el sonido… lo unico que mejoraria seria el que las teclas tuvieran un sonido mas organico… osea, que no haya tanta diferencia entre teclas.

I’ve been looking for this for years, and I wish Apple built it into the OS. Sadly, this is another app that is too obtrusive or awkward for what it does. 1. ALL the many sounds emulate old mechanical keyboards. I don’t care about “sounds from my youth;” I just want auditory feedback. 2. It has now stuck a small but permanent window into my screen. It says “open settings to close this tip,” but WHAT settings? From Setapp? From this app? (The window does not mention the name of the app, so it took several minutes to figure that out!) Nothing I have tried gets rid of the window. SETAPP Background apps should be UNOBTRUSIVE. This one isn’t.

Response from Developer

Hey, Roger 👋. I'm very sorry you had a negative experience with JoyTap 🙏. I completely understand your feedback about the sounds. JoyTap is definitely designed for retro lovers. Regarding the window, to get rid of it, just open the JoyTap main menu once. But I know that for some users, the new menu bar icons are hidden by default. For example, because of Bartender. And then this can be confusing, as happened in your case.

I love it, I'm completely hooked already. Now I'd love it if there was a way to add sounds to mouse clicks and resize-like movements when you move the cursor. That would be perfect ❤️

Response from Developer

Mar 1, 2026

Hey 👋. Thanks for taking the time to compliment my work 🙏. Yes, mouse click sounds are already in my backlog. But I haven't thought about gesture sounds yet. Honestly, right now I don't even know if it's possible. But I'll definitely explore it.

A lot of fun, would love to have some Shortcuts actions available so I can enable/disable sounds programmatically.

Response from Developer

Feb 26, 2026

Hey, Tobin 👋. Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I've added the shortcut idea to my backlog!

One of those apps that you initially think, "Who might even need this?" and then you turn up the speakers to enjoy the sound :)

Hey, Ivan 👋. I think we've all been there 😂. Thanks for the high rating. It's always a pleasure, but from you, it's a double 🥹.

On macOS Sonoma, no sound comes out except the return key. Gave all the permissions, rebooted the mac, quit and relaunched the app, signed out and back in Setapp, no dice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Response from Developer

Mar 7, 2026

Hey 👋. Sorry. I'm sorry you had a negative experience with JoyTap 🙏. It actually sounds pretty weird. The sound mechanism is the same for the return key as for all the others. Besides, I see that several hundred users are using Sonoma, and everything seems to work for them. I will try to research and make the system more reliable in future updates.

I’m really enjoying this app - it makes my MacBook much more fun to use! It would be great to have a setting to choose the preferred audio output. Sometimes I use headphones or my bluetooth speakers, but I still want the clicky sounds to play through the MacBook’s speakers. That option would be very useful. Thanks for building such an enjoyable app!
