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...

I've bought the tactile version, overall I'm slightly disappointed. I expected these keys to have less travel than regular keys, but I didn't expect it to feel this much. Not really a fault of the keys, but a bit of a bummer. More annoying though, is the fact that I feel pretty much no tactile bump at all on any of the keys. It may have to do with the small amount of travel and that it leads to 'skipping' the bump, but no matter how I try to test the switches I don't feel anything. To me that's the biggest disappointment and it will likely put me off of purchasing a Planck light down the road. So if you're looking for a tactile switch I'd give this a pass.
