ClicKey features independent volume control that enables you to control the sound of your keyboard. Its sounds can be made as quiet as you want. It comes with On-screen user-interface or invisible startup shortcut that let you start from a Windows shortcut (probably in the "Startup" group) with its sound specification commands
