Keyboards is a detailed sound library featuring recordings of four unique computer keyboards, each with its own distinct sound and feel. Every detail, from the subtle differences in switch types to the nuanced dynamics of real-world typing, has been carefully captured to provide an authentic and comprehensive collection of keyboard sounds.
The library features recordings from a Drop Alt mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches, a Logitech G915 TKL with linear switches, a Logitech Craft with butterfly switches, and a Cherry MX Switch Tester, which includes 12 additional switch types. With 15 different switch types in total, the collection ranges from sharp, clicky keystrokes to smooth, muted presses, offering an extensive variety of sounds.
A wide range of typing styles were captured, including single keypresses with varying velocities, rapid and rhythmic keypresses, and multi-key combinations. Full-speed typing sequences were also recorded using Monkeytype.com to ensure natural and realistic key movement. Special attention was given to unique key sounds such as spacebar, enter/return, backspace, escape, and delete.
Recorded with a Sennheiser MKH 8050 microphone and a Zoom F6 recorder, all sounds were captured in pristine 32-bit 192kHz resolution, taking advantage of the MKH 8050’s extended frequency response (up to 50kHz). This makes the sounds perfect for pitching down and creative sound design applications. The final library includes 237 WAV files at 24-bit/192kHz, totaling 1.3GB of high-quality audio, with UCS-compliant metadata for easy searchability.

The Master Gun M110A1 SASS Sound Effects library is recorded using a large array of various microphone configurations, we recorded shots from several distances in an open shooting range in the Nevada Desert.
Our raw shots features a total of 28 channels including 13 Stereo and 2 mono sources. All of our close and mid spaced pair Microphone options can be used as two independent mono microphones. The right side of every spaced pair will have more Mech than its left side counterpart.
Every single gun has been recorded using the same gain settings on the same recorders, and we have level matched each microphone option between the same calibers so your 50ft microphones will be the same or similar across all libraries that share the same calibers. This makes mixing large amounts of weapons easier as the loudness and character of each gun is predictable.
Our foley features a total of 4 audio channels with 1 Stereo and 2 mono sources, including the Sanken CO-100k which captures frequencies above 100kHz for extreme pitch shifting workflows.
In addition to the unsuppressed shot recordings, we’ve also sampled the M110A1 SASS with a suppressor attachment. The suppressed M110A1 SASS was sampled right after the unsuppressed recordings using the exact same microphone setup as the unsuppressed version. This provides you a seamless transition between the unsuppressed and the suppressed recordings.
The suppressed recordings also have the added benefit of muting the shot layers which helps bring out the intricate details of the mechanism (mech layers).
Because adding a suppressor to the firearm increases the weapons muzzle velocity, the fire rate of the suppressed weapon is slightly faster than its unsuppressed counterpart.
Created from the ground up we’ve designed a collection of game-ready mixes for your next project. If you are creating your own custom weapons system and would like to use our designed mixes in your project, you can use our no-tail options which are our realistic designed mixes without our tail layers. Just drag, and drop.
All files contain extensive metadata to provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible. Metadata can be read and processed by audio management tools. Some digital audio workstations feature an included search tool that can also read embedded metadata.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
