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...

What is the differnence between the DCS and the DSA keycaps? As a person with no soldering experience, how difficult/easy will assembly be? Will this drop be featured again? if so will there be printed keycaps? will there be an aluminium case? will there be an option to buy it pre-assembled?
I'm curious about the aluminum case as well. I'd really like one.
I wouldn't count on there being printed caps offered as standard. I think these caps are the same ones offered on all the past ErgoDoxes. Most people who use the Dox use a non "standard" layout anyway, so it would be too hard to get everyone to agree. If you want printed caps, I would recommend getting the board without caps and picking up the granite drop that's going on right now. Keep in mind, you will need to combine a couple of different options in the drop to get a complete labeled set.
