Advice / Tips for Satisfaction 75

[vice]

I just got myself a Cloud White Satisfaction 75 and i'm super excited to build it! I've been in the hobby for a while but this was the keyboard that caught my eye around the time I joined and i'm really happy I was able to finally acquire one NIB!

I've already bought some dampening foam from taobao and plan to use all 3 with an FR4 plate. However, I don't know which switches to go with. Unfortunately where I live there isn't much of a community so there aren't any meetups to attend to try out other boards.

Right now i'm considering NK Creams, Tealios, Alpacas or KTT Strawberries. Do any of you have experience with these switches? Would you recommend any other linears other than these?

Reason i'm asking for advice is because i've been watching lots of sound test videos online and the sound signatures seem to differ quite a bit.

Any advice or tips would be much appreciated!

Odds of any of them sounding how you think is slim.
The mic, distance, encoding, your system, speakers... Electronics changes the sound, you'd be amazed at how different radio DJs sound in person.
And none of that even accounts for different lubes, keyboards, other prep work...

best advice is to buy sample packs and see how they sound and feel in person on your exact board because nothing you see in a video or even on someone else's keyboard is going to compare. It may cost a little more but you later might find a board they do work well in and it gives you experience with a few more switches.


Sample packs can drastically change what switch you think you want.
Everything's a best guess, so try lots.
