Make Touch Bar Esc key "click" [duplicate]

I love my MBP and the Touch Bar is pretty cool, but sometimes I find I’m second-guessing myself. Did I press the ESC key or not? Did I press that function key? Well you get the idea. There’s just no physical feedback and sometimes I keep tapping where I think something is, but it’s not!

I know there's no tactile feedback, but then it hit me - maybe there’s a setting somewhere for sound. You know, like the beeps you here when pressing buttons on some devices.

My guess is this is just not possible, but before I make the suggestion to Apple I wanna make sure!

Any ideas?

Solution 1:

Actually you’re in luck. A while back I came across Haptic Touch Bar.

This software not only offers the sound feedback you’re looking for, but actually provides tactile feedback by activating the trackpad magnets to vibrate the MBP when you're using the Touch Bar.

NOTE: I am not affiliated with the developer or this software in any way.

Solution 2:

There is a FOSS alternative out there: HapticKey. The latest release can be gotten on Homebrew:

brew cask install haptickey

Similarly as Haptic Touch Bar this software will both enable tactile feedback and sound.
