Best sounding switches and Keycap profile
Hi Everyone, I just bought my first mechanical keyboard (Wooting 80HE) and ordered the Geon Raws HE after watching a few YouTube videos—they sounded great. However, on my keyboard, they sound clacky as hell, and I actually prefer the Lekker 60 V2! They’re much quieter and sound better (in my opinion). Right now, I’m using the PCR case because my Zinc case won’t arrive for another month (mid-March). Do you think that’s why the Geon Raws HE sound so off? I’m considering getting the Jades Pro, but I don’t want to waste more money on switches if it’s not necessary. Should I wait for the Zinc case and then decide? What would you do or recommend for someone who prefers thocky or silent keyboards? I also have a question about keycaps. I’m struggling with typing—I’m used to working all day on an MX Keys S, but with the Wooting keyboard, I keep pressing multiple keys at once. Adjusting has been tough. Can you recommend a keycap profile that might help? Would DSA work, or do you have other...

Same setup but with a Kailh Black switch. Stock spring = 12 (60g) 40g spring = 8 (40g) 45g spring = 9 (45g) 60g spring = 10 (50g)
So basically the advertised weights are just wrong no matter how you look at it. The 40g and 45g springs may have been measured by someone with nickels and measured the actuation force of a linear switch. But the springs aren't even advertised in any linear scale as the 60g spring is significantly weaker in relation to it's claimed weight. Very difficult to give accurate advise on which spring you would actually want.
