i believe it is called ghost tapping or something like that. idk, i remember it being brought up in the SGDQ showcase though.

i mean, there are definitely people who are really into keyboard sounds, like ASMR stuff. and a huge mechanical keyboard community. so uh... yea that's somethin to think about

i can see it now, people start making stepmania videos but WITHOUT the music! It'll become a great big trend that will last like a month or something....
