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...

4 or 5 days without a word from you guys, it is not very customer-service oriented. We pay money for both the product and customer service. Part of the customer service is to communicate about on-going issue/problem and ways to solve them.
By the way Mark, are you repeating the same mistake again from the Pure Pro incident? People were asking for update on the shipment left and right. And it took you couple days to reply. That happened about 6 months ago. I guess you guys haven't really learned from your mistake, have you?
This is all part of "due diligence". You guys have not shown enough of it.
By the way, exactly what date you guys received the last update? At least, we the members, can estimate when we will receiving our merchandise.

For drops in other categories, MD is usually pretty good about providing accurate product information, providing timely update on the drop, etc.
However, I don't know if there is a particular reason or cause, there is always seem to be something wrong when it comes to mechanical keyboard related drops. I love mechanical keyboards. I use them at work and at home. I currently have 8 of them in my collection. This Leopold will be my 9th one. I spent a lot of time browsing mk related information online everyday. Maybe I know a bit more than the staff at MD, or maybe not.
I am just not happy when the staff not putting their customers' satisfaction on the top of the list. We pay money for a service and we deserve the best possible service.
I maybe "whine" and "complain" a lot. However, I speak out on behalf of people who feel the same way. Remember, one man's "whiner" maybe another man's "advocate".
Through my "whining", I managed to motivate Nelson to negotiate a better pricing point for the current KBtalKing PBT key cap set. You can read it on page 4 of the discussion: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kbtalking-doubleshot-pbt-keycaps/talk
If I email or call Nelson in private, he may or may not post on the drop. If I post it in the discussion board, then he will have to respond. I am actually helping him with some positive publicity for negotiating with the vendor, even if he doesn't get lower pricing point in the end. If he does, we all benefit from buying product at a much lower pricing point.
