This is a discussion thread for the "Be Retro with Noisy Typer for Mac" story posted on the front page.
I like this and backspace isn't working or it's not made yet so maybe when it gets updated it may feature it, I'm now like a newpaper reporter on a retro typewriter now!
I did restarted it and still nothing just the scrolling, typing and the DING! works not backspace I'm thinking My Macbook cannot replicate the typewriter's backspace sound.
I did try Googling earlier in hopes of providing a method of doing this on that platform, but I came back empty handed. If you find something, let me know. Edit: Here's one: www.grc.com/freeware/clickey.htm
Very strange indeed. It works fine on both the Macs I tried it on. What version of OS X are you using? Edit: Actually, trying it again I found out that the backspace is very quiet. Turn up your volume and try again.
Actually I can hear it but... it's too quiet the sound should be up a level a little - I'm on 10.6.8 the last update of Snow Leopard
