## What is Thockly?

Thockly is a native Windows desktop application built with **WinUI 3** and **.NET 10** that plays authentic mechanical keyboard, mouse click, and trackpad scroll sounds with ultra-low latency as you interact with your PC.

Whether you type on a laptop keyboard, standard membrane board, or low-profile switches, Thockly reproduces the tactile acoustic feedback of high-end mechanical keyboard switches (linear, tactile, clicky, and thocky) across every application on Windows.
