Sound Test Setup
Sound tests are done with a AT2005 Microphone about 12cm from the center of both halves of a keyboard. The keyboard is on a desk mat, which is on a wooden desk.
I noticed my keyboards sounded deeper in my sound tests than in reality, I run an equalizer curve to make them sound more realistic.
I'm still updating my test sequence, but here is the current sequence for most of the tests:
- Roll keys with 4 fingers on each row, starting with the Top Left row, moving down, then going to the Bottom Right row, and moving up.
- Tap along the length of each stabilized key, starting with the Left Shift and moving counter-clockwise.
- Type at a normal speed
- Type slower and softer
- Type hard
- Spam the "F" key hard
