Since I've used Model F for the first time I'm trying to get my Model M boards as close in feel to the Model F as possible.
So far I've done the following with a very good results:
1. Bolt mod, but without all nuts in place, just a few marked by Ripster in his Bolt Mod Wiki, don't screw them too tight, the looser it is, the better.
2. Replace springs with Unicomp's, they're softer than any Model M, I've also tried with Model F springs and it kind of works but it's just not sparkly enough.
3. Remove the rubber layer from between barrel assembly and membranes, they dampen the sound and make the board slightly less sharp.
With those 3 points done I can say it's something between Model M and Model F. I'm thinking about the following:
Use Model F springs, but as they are a little bit longer, it will require longer bolts and some spacers between barrel plate and membranes. With a correct measures it could actually work, but I'm yet to find time to do that for the full board. And obviously that requires very precise replacing of springs on original hammers, since the Model F hammers don't work with Model M.
