=====

This is a little Python script that plays a random sound whenever a key is pressed/released. Specifically, I sampled my CMStorm Quickfire TK with Blue Cherry switches.  

Use it to annoy people when you don't have a mechanical keyboard with you.

### Dependencies

To install dependencies (on Debian Jessie):

```sh

$ sudo apt-get install python-xlib python-sdl2

```  

On Ubuntu <= 14.10 `python-sdl2` is not in the repo, so:

```sh

$ sudo apt-get install python-xlib pip libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0

$ sudo pip install PySDL2

```

### Launching

```sh

$ ./softmech.py

```

### Additional sounds

If you want to add your own sounds just put them in a folder and change the `sounddir` variable.  

Sounds to be played on KeyDown must end with "down.wav", sounds to be played on KeyUp must end with "up.wav"
