About keyboard typing sound effects
Typing on a keyboard is a fast run of small clicks and clacks, and each one takes its character from what sits under the key. Mechanical switches have a spring and a hard plastic stem, so they clack and sometimes ping. Rubber dome boards, the kind on most office desks, give a muffled, softer tap, and keys with long travel bottom out with a solid thud. Keys click, clack or tap, and a burst of fast typing is often written as clickety-clack. Every sound in this set is a single keystroke rather than a typing run, so you set the rhythm yourself.

Which one to pick
Typing Mechanical and Typing Metallic are the loud ones, a clacky spring switch and a brighter, ringing metal strike, good for a hacker scene or a retro computer. Typing Soft is the quiet office keyboard and the right choice under dialogue. Typing Deep has a heavier bottom-out thud, and Typing Click is a crisp, slightly stylized click that also works as UI feedback.
To build a typing run, place one keystroke several times at uneven gaps and vary the volume a little. Mixing two of them, such as Typing Soft with an occasional Typing Deep for the space bar, sounds more natural than a perfect rhythm.
