Newer computers running Windows 8 have flatter keyboards, making typos a little easier for people accustomed to standard depth keys. Some keyboards do not even have a Caps Lock light to warn that you accidentally turned-on Caps Lock.
As a solution, there is an accessibility setting to sound a quick beep when you press any of the Lock keys:
Swipe-from-left to see the "Charms" bar,
then Settings ("gear")
-> Change PC Settings (at bottom-right corner, not an icon)
The PC Settings screen appears:
-> Ease of Access
-> Keyboard
-> Toggle Keys (On).
