Works quite well, too.
All Alpha Omega's software are 15 Euros including a Startup Chime Stopper when there are 'Startup Sound.Pref Pane' and 'Psst', both FREE...FREE...FREE. And they work just fine.

I neglected to mention that the company Alpha Omega Software SUCKETH, as most in the know are well aware of.
Just check the software reviews and comments here at MacUpdate about Alpha Omega.

Typewriter Keyboard: €15 (about $18); 8.20% CPU when IDLE!
'nuff said.

Keyclick does the same, except for letting you choose custom sounds from the interface (although you can do it manually via 'Show Package Contents' in Keyclick's prefpane and replacing the sounds within).
15 euros for Typewriter Keyboard...
...$2.50 for Keyclick (that'd be approx. 1.90 euro)
The rest is your choice.

I decided to try this program anyway, after using the Apple solution for a day.
Typewriter Keyboard is remarkably better... first because you don't have to live with a slow keystroke repeat, which honestly drove me crazy. And second because you can turn off sounds for certain keys (like shift, command, ctrl, option, esc...) and you can play different sounds for different keys (like delete, space, enter). It really is a completely different kind of solution than the Apple one (and much preferred if you ask me).
So, since it's free to tryout, I would definitely give both solutions a go. You might be annoyed by typing sounds on a keyboard and it's not worth the $15 bucks (honestly I'm not sure after only two days if I'll purchase the program), but to say you get the same experience from both solutions is a falsity.

My solution? Spend $80 for a keyboard with both tactile and aural feedback. We'll see how it works.

"In System Preferences, click Sound and turn on "Play user interface sound effects." Then switch to the Universal Access pane.
In the Keyboard tab, turn on Slow Keys, and move its Acceptance delay slider all the way to the right (Short). Confirm that "Use key click sounds" is turned on. Click Show All to activate the changes.
Now start typing and enjoy this sonic blast from the past. (Much to your chagrin, there's enough of a delay to drive you crazy, if you're a reasonably fast typist.)"- from mac osxhints website.

Slicker interface. But unlike TT - which
was freeware - you can't apply TK to certain applications only without repeatedly opening and closing it. Seems to me that this is overpriced. Nice icon, though.
