The [kickstarter page for the preonic](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/keyboardio/preonic/) has a section called ‘Programmable keyclicks and chip tunes’, part of which reads:

> The Keyboardio Preonic is the first of our keyboards to feature a piezo speaker, although it’s long been a hallmark of OLKB’s keyboards. Out of the box, your keyboard will include an optional “sonic theme” featuring sound effects on events like startup, bluetooth connection, changing layers, and starting charging, with more to come down the road.  
> You’ll be able to enable a ‘key click’ sound that simulates an old-school clicky keyboard, even if you’re using tactile or linear switches.

I want to enable key clicks, but don’t see how. I have configured some settings on [https://chrysalis.keyboard.io/](https://chrysalis.keyboard.io/) and have Current firmware version 202505071112, which appears to be the latest.

Edit: [This github issue](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/issues/1444) makes me think Kaleidoscope doesn’t have this functionality yet…

Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out. If I can get it figured out I’ll mark your post as a solution.

If anyone ever enables this by accident and then deletes the default keybinding (totally not me), they might want to know that the keycode for that was 53696

I was looking for this. It’s toggled by Fun+LShift.
