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...

As most of you know, this special project has been a work in progress for the past two months. There were many hurdles we had to cross to ensure we can commission a special production run for these.
As a result, it does mean the quantity available for this drop is limited. This also means that, on the pricing front, we are not expecting to be able to get another price drop at another quantity level.
If you are on the fence on this, just buy it now before they are all gone :) "
That being said, I wouldn't freak too much over missing the deal. It looks like they were limited to 300 boards, and judging by the "you and 296 other people made this drop a success" message on the top of the page, three people have already dropped out. Massdrop also picks up a few extra of each drop for use as referral gifts or replacements, and usually we see a few of each item reappear as part of their bazaars. Either way, Massdrop would be crazy not to run this drop again at some point in the future. Given the incredible popularity this drop had they've got to be making a killing through the sales of this board.
I thought it was funny when the drop was in the process of selling out extremely fast and the community asked for another price drop at a certain quantity. The massdrop guys must've been like "Why on earth would we provide more incentive when the drop is selling out this fast???" haha they had absolutely no reason to offer another $5 drop point and lose out on $1500
