FAQ
What is idle keyboard?
- idle keyboard plays a varying list of keyboard typing and clicking sound files in a continual loop.
Why use this?
- If you work in an office, you know it's important to look busy at all times. Many things you do on a computer involve very little sound and give the impression to peers that you are doing nothing, prompting a quick peek into your office. The sound of a keyboard typing says you are on top of things.
How do I use this?
- After you hit the play button (finger pointing down), leave the webpage going (minimize) and adjust the volume to a realistic level of your personal typing style. Have the mute button handy for quick stopping. If you're listening to music at the same time it will obviously mute the music also. To stop playback completely either hit the stop button (open hand palm) or close the webpage. Warning: Be sure not to walk away from your computer while playback.
What if I don't hear anything?
- Adjust your speaker sound. Your system sound level may be turned off (start>settings>control panel>sounds and audio devices). Make sure you have Flash installed www.macromedia.com. Make sure your browser is up to date. Last but not least, your IT dept may have a tight sphincter. Asking them may not have a positive outcome.
Is this it?
- In the future, content will be added for office productivity. I created this for personal use and I hope you enjoy it or at least get a laugh.
