I built one, once upon a time, out of a Univac keypunch keyboard and some
TTL logic.
Worked great. Used it on my Altair for years Really nice LOUD CLICKS.
Loved it.

I suspect this would be tough to do with a modern PC keyboard, but if you
look at
really old stuff (like at a state/university surplus sale or some such) you
might find
something.
