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...

It’s ErgoDox time, here’s all the info you need to know going into this Massdrop.
Previous Orders: Yesterday we shipped out 80 orders from the last round and we’re set to ship all the remaining orders during the first half of next week. We’ve been waiting on a shipment of acrylic cases that’s set to arrive today and we’ll do our best to have those out to you as quickly as possible.
PCB: This Massdrop is going to include the original ErgoDox PCB. We’re in contact with the designer of the new, backlight friendly PCB but there are still a few bugs to be worked out with the design. Additionally, in order to take advantage of the backlighting components on the beta PCB design, you need advanced soldering equipment due to the size of the SMD pads. Given the more advanced skills and equipment required, this won’t be the best choice for a basic ErgoDox kit but we hope to offer a separate Massdrop for the new PCB once it’s design has been completed.
All the switch types available last time are available again this time.
Let us know if you have any questions and we’ll do our best to provide informative answers,
Edit: Got my shipping notification 3/26 :D
