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...

Why have you choosen this option of the poll: 563 votes, but only 28 votes/rank 6 for this. Regarding lowest price we save 25$ compared to WASD, but we although loose the option for keycap configuration. People have to know this to decide which is worth more for them.
Why only brown switches, it's no problem at all to get ISO Keyboards/mx brown in Europe. I know the dip switches, but in german forums people never ask for dip switches, they would rather like to see different switches like clears/greens on ISO Keyboards, because this is hard to get here. Both options are given at WASD for 10$ more.
For me there is no reason to buy this on MD. Being german, the only reasons to import an ISO Keyboard to Europe are not given, hard to get switches and keycap config to my own liking. Paying around 190$ after shipping and tax only for dip switches, well i don't know. I can get 2-3 well build CM keyboards for that money.
All of this is only me, and i love MD, but i can't see the sense of this drop.
Cheers
Europeans don't lack ISO keyboards with red/brown/black/blue switches, we lack clears/greens/gray switches and keycapsets with ISO option for reasonable prices, what ever reasonable may be.
Have a nice weekend
Edit: If you're from Europe and want ISO Layout - Vortex Backlit Doubleshot PBT Keycaps give this IC some love: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=70781.0
following your link on the description page states something else: Here's one of the winning options from the https://www.massdrop.com/vote/wasd-keyboards poll started by mmitiaguin.

Edit: We'll talk to WASD tomorrow to see if we can get other switches.
