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...

Edit: jantari, your comment hasn't been there for me till a few seconds ago, even though posted a couple of minutes ago.
You've written "-Does it have any DIP switches? —> Yass" - So what do they do optionwise?
reporting back: the dips are a lie. There was just a hole in the case to some pin looking things, but when I opened it up there were no switches to be flipped. sorry about that. I'll amend the original question/answers.
Since there's no reviews on this thing and very little info about it i have to ask if the Keycaps on this thing is changeable? Can I buy whatever kind of keycaps which fits with Cherry MX switches? I need a nordic layout that's why.
I really like the keyboard because it has everything i want:
- TKL - White LED - Cherry MX Blue
I'm consered about the price if the quality is crappy or something and I really want to change those keycaps.
You can change the keycaps with any ketcapset that is given/made for cherry mx switches. The only problem is to watch out for compatability to get a set, single caps (maybe alphas only) with correct sizes. The possibilities for backlit/shine through keycaps are very limited, that shift keycapsizes!
Let me know if you need more help, but it will take some time to answer.
please check the label of the right shift key in manuals picture. It says "Shit". Hope this will be not delivered, but on the other side would be nice experiment to see reaction of my colleagues at work: "What, you have a 'Shit" key?! Can you hit the Shit key for me please, just to see what will happen?" :-)
or if this keyboard is going to get famous and I'm the only one with a Shit key, I'll get famous too and rich at once :-) "Hey he is the guy with the Shit key!"
hope u laugh at least as much as I do at the moment.
