Bucklespring keyboards are iconic keyboards with distinct sound effects, sadly they went out of fashion however you can still relive the wonder of them on any keyboard you have!
Downloading as a snap vs .deb
The most popular way to download this trick is via a snap, but I don’t like to use these nor have any of them installed. I still prefer the old fashioned .deb packages.

The packages
The package bucklespring_1.4.0-2_.deb can be downloaded easily from Debian’s packaging website (I shall link it below), please note that you won’t find this deb package in Synaptic.
Download the bucklespring-data_1.4.0-2_all.deb and the bucklespring_1.4.0-2_.deb.Install the data first then the bucklesrping package itself.
How to run Bucklespring?
Bucklespring has no GUI (Graphic user interface), so in order to get it to run you need to open the terminal and simply type in:
buckle
Download links
Please choose the right architecture for your processor.
Important notes
You have to keep that terminal (x session) open in order to enjoy the bucklespring sounds as you type on the keyboard.
I happened to notice that some keys don’t produce the sound as they are typed on (the number pad on the right side of the keyboard).
Final words
It’s a cool trick to have enabled, totally changes your using experience of the keyboard. I find that it’s best paired with LED enabling (also enabled from the terminal) for a maximum nerdy effect.

Hi, good day to you
As it hurts me to report, the best Keyboard launcher won’t be making the jump toLinux..
And here I quote from the author of Executor:
“Hi, Unfortunately there are no plans on a Linux version of Executor. My development time is very limited and the code base for Executor is heavily tied into the low level Windows API. I remember a colleague of mine showing me some quite impressive alternatives to Executor on Linux, can’t remember their names though.”
You can check the full thread from here
He suggested other alternatives that he forgot, I will update this post if he replied to me.
What are the alternatives you are using? Please share them with us..
I will make a separate post about it later this week when I have some time..
Here you have it 😀 I hope you find this useful 🙂
