Question, my matias quiet pro showed up today, but there is something weird about the feel, or perhaps I am spoiled by oranges. After the tactile bump, it feels like there is a second smaller build up in pressure, which releases again, and this is consistent across all switches. Is this just friction I am feeling, or is there something different about the new switches.
I have heard people compare the feel of typing on one as splashing into a pool of water, and I totally understand what they mean by that now, but I can't help but notice the friction. The high tactility that gives way a lot is exactly why I like oranges, but the friction or whatever after that just feels strange. Can that be helped with lube? I thought these switches came factory lubed.
Also some of the switches rattle badly, and are louder than some of my clicky switches. Not very 'quiet'. Even my zealios board is quieter than this one due to tactile leaf clicking.
Edit: The later was due to the switch being cold as I just pulled it from outside. As it has warmed up, the clicking has stopped. I guess the switches were never actuated after assembled and the lube froze. However, there is still a bit of tactile leaf rattle going on, more than my oranges. I will see if that stops with use. However, it could be the sound of the stem slamming into the base that masks the sound of the tactile leaf rattling on orange switches, not too sure about that.
Good switches, better than any cherry tactile switch in feel, even zealios, but no match for oranges, that is for sure. Just trying to figure out if there is something 'off' about my batch of quiet switches, so I don't have a false opinion of them.
