Yes, each typed character's sound is pretty much indistinguishable, but the mind is very good at detecting the same sound multiple times in a row, so sampling a handful of strikes and picking randomly should fix that. The sound of the shift key prepositioning the typeball. The sound of " ". The CR/LF sound; at some point at might be could to have different clips of different line length CRs.
