Can I stop the keypress beep on my Kinesis Advantage keyboard?

Question

I'm a bit of an ergo freak and recently bought a Kinesis Advantage keyboard. The manual says to press Program+\ but that doesn't stop the keyboard's speaker making that awful noise; in fact it changes nothing :/

Does anyone here have any ideas before I give in and contact Kinesis?

Answer 1

In the end, I just opened her up and pulled the piezo speaker off with pliers. Works great now.

Answer 2

I have the Kinesis Advantage 2 - the instruction manual and previously accepted answer gave me no such luck. I have since learned the following:

• Toggle KEYCLICK status: progm + F8
• Toggle TOGGLE TONE status: progm + shift + F8

To see the current status of these toggles:

1. open any text buffer
2. progm + Esc

note: i turned off karabiner-elements (my system-level key re-mapper of choice) before switching these settings - I haven't explored what effects a remap of Caps Lock & Esc might have on this functionality

Answer 3

see How do you turn off the “beep” & “click” sounds of the keyboard? enter link description here

To disable the “click” noise, press and hold the Progrm key and tap the piples/backslash key (the key directly to the right of the letter “P”).

To disable the “beep” noise, press and hold the Progrm key and tap the hyphen/underscore key (the key directly below Progrm).

Answer 4

You can use the following on an Advantage2 keyboard to disable the beep/click sound:

press and hold progm + tap F8

If you want it back repeat the same sequence.

Answer 5

Have you remapped your \ key? If so, you have to press the original location of the backslash key for it to work. (Should be between the QWERTY quote and hyphen.)
