I finished the introduction to my book “Too Much Information: Backing Up” today. Writing is hard work. Before I sat down to work on it, an idea struck me. Computer users lack the physical connection between the tactile response of a keyboard and the sound associated with it. Many authors still use typewriters for numerous reasons, but I imagine this is one of them. 

It was pretty easy to find a solution.

For the Mac: Typewriter Keyboard

For Windows: Clickey

(I don’t have windows, so if someone is so inclined, please report its usability in the comments)

I just love it. My computer now sounds like a typewriter. Complete with carriage return and backspace.
