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...

Basically, all Im saying is, I really wouldnt mind the price if it came with the switch. And I would probably buy one one if it did. It would make for a perfect DIY lamp!
Also, I'm mostly annoyed that MD displays images of your keycap with a switch and stand when theres no way of buying a switch and stand!
If you don't have or want a big switch, this drop isn't for you, move on.
One, it’s not my keycap. It’s Idea23’s keycaps that he creates by hand.
Two, the Big Switch is made entirely separately by injection molding and is packaged with a keycap that is also made with injection molding. These are all made in Kailh’s factory - the packaging, switch, and keycap.
The reason they show the keycap with the switch is to show how the keycap fits and looks with the switch. There’s no games being played here. It’s, again, kind of like how artisans are shown on keyboards, even though they don’t come with the keyboard. And how cables are shown with keycap sets, but only come with the cable.
Hope that helps explains things. That’s the way I view it. I don’t have anything to do in part with this drop, other than that I provided Idea23 with a Big Switch.
EDIT: Sorry I wrote a bigger response and then deleted it cause it was tl;dr. Yes, I am aware of that set, I didnt join the drop for them because I didnt like the caps. I dont want to have to spend another 30 bucks just for the switch. Oh, and I was quoting you when I said "move on" :P
I know in this case it's to show the possibilities of what you can do with this item. But not having variety of different situations with other bases or it just being on a switch with nothing else etc, and again, not having any info regarding the base and switch not being included is very misleading.
I'm done with this thread, I dont want to be that grumpy old guy who hates art. I'm totally for this drop and others like it. I'm just getting sick of how MD handles themselves.
Now get off my lawn! :P
Nowhere does it say that the base or switch are included, you've simply made that up. Do you complain in every keycap drop that the keyboards aren't included?
