01 — Features

Built to feel like a real board

The engine, the soundpacks, and the interface are all tuned around one goal: keys should feel instant and sound right.

Faithful mechanical keyboard audio, mapped key-by-key rather than looped generically.

Full backward compatibility with the original soundpack formats, plus the new v3 spec.

Low-latency engine

A Web Audio playback pipeline rebuilt for consistent timing under heavy typing.

🎧

Dark mode

An interface that matches the hours most mechanical-keyboard enthusiasts keep.

What's different from upstream

Same soundpack ecosystem, rebuilt runtime. This fork focuses on stability and modernization without breaking compatibility.
