I give you Typewriter Keyboard, a Mac OS X shareware application that makes your keyboard do typewriting sounds when you strike the keys.

It's a small thing, but it makes me somehow feel, when I'm writing, that I'm writing, y'know?

Now, if only I could find some way to make the keys look like that on an old Smith-Corona, like Spider Jerusalem's...

Cool. But it would be better if it could be set to activate only with certain applications, e.g. your word processor, or better still, only to activate when typing text into a document, as opposed to keyboard shortcuts. The 'Command' key shouldn't make a sound, and any key pressed while the 'Command' key is depressed also shouldn't make a sound. Doesn't 'fit' when doing finder operations.

I know, I know...nit-picking.
