That click Here is a tip from riskable if you want to make some noise.
KBD.news Published June 12, 2021
Now this is how you do clicky: Relays! There's nothing hooked up to them so they should last a really long time (millions of clicks!).
8-channel relays like this are usually around $5-10 each but in my testing I figured out that you really only need one, but two does the job a bit better. Three is just fine (but totally unnecessary).
