Ohh could someone post a video with how the switches sound while typing? Sorry if there's already one somewhere and I've missed it. I really love the look of this keyboard, and the price is more than reasonable. Just having a hard time justifying the length. I'd love to just chop off the cluster on the right side.
Also, another question. I've read on DT that the keyboard is very pingy while typing. Has anyone tried to line it with foam yet to see if it makes a good difference?
I can confirm the 00 as well, I have a chinese and a japanese one, and the japanese 6112883 has the 0 00 . on the keypad.
As to the sound: remember the model F sound, I think you tried one. It had that ringing sound while typing. This one is much much worse. Louder ping, and lasts for longer before dying out. I think its' a function of the resonance cavity created with the PCB, metal plate and the sides of the case. It's basically closed. I am not convinced putting foam under the pcb will help. You might have to desolder (and unscrew) the PCB from the plate and put a custom cut acrylic filler in there, or maybe a bunch of cotton balls or something.
I'll see about making a video with my phone tonight.
Other than the "ping" sound, it's almost linear (there's a tactile feel, but it's pretty slight: less than cherry brown)and sounds a lot like the hall effect keyboards, with that nice "thock" sound at top-out. I like it.
The spacebar appears to be reversible, but I was unsuccessful in getting the stabilizer inserts out. not a huge deal, as the bottom row is less "sharp" as it's meant for thumbs instead of fingers: IBM thought of everything, it seems.
I love these keyboards, and will be modding mine soon for everyday use.
