Make Your Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock Keys Beep When You Tap Them

One of our biggest pet peeves is hitting the CAPS LOCK key by accident and forgetting it was turned on. While the Keyboard does have a light to indicate the CAPS LOCK key is activated, by default there is no audio warning. We’re going to show you how to configure Windows 10 to give you a BEEP when you hit the CAPS LOCK key, Num Lock key, or Scroll Lock key. Having an audio warning notify you when you accidentally tap one of those keys is very handy, especially if you’re a touch typist and not a hunt & peck typist.

Here’s how to make your CAPS LOCK, Num Lock and Scroll Lock keys beep when you touch them. This tip is for Windows 10.

Press the Windows Key + i to open settings. (You can also open setting by clicking the Start button and then Settings in the Start menu.)

Find “Ease of Access” in the Settings window and click it:

In the Ease of Access Window, click on “Keyboard” in the menu on the left.

In the Keyboard dialog, locate the Toggle Keys section and turn on the switches next to:

** Hear a tone when you press Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock”.

And if you want to be able to quickly enable or disable Toggle Keys quickly and easily, also turn on the “Turn on Toggle Keys by holding the Num Lock key for 5 seconds” switch.
