A quick DIY invention i made that might help you guys. I also posted it in the Other non clicking thread

It is designed to Press the keys REALLY fast via attachment to a variable speed power drill.

Some sex toys might be softer and less risky to achieve the task you are proposing.

It even made me think of something out of an electric tooth brush.

Um... yea, you could.... use some sex toy, but the problem with that would be material...

I'd assume most sex toy would be made out of some sort of hard plastic.. So if you don't get the edges right, it might cause too much friction and melt your keys...

I heard something go bump in the night.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Not sure what this poll worth but from the look of it, the non clicky trend seams to be more of a 2012-2013 issue.

Feedback from Rajiv seems to suggest that CM have resolved their issues.  And there are not many (if any?) similar reports about the Ducky, so maybe it was just a bad batch of switches.

Good for you.

I'm uber jelly of your Ducky Pro LE PBT with Green. That was my first choice but was out of stock.
I fold back on what seams to be a deal... 88$ CM QFR Green.

CM sent me a tracking number yesterday. They will replace the QFR by a Trigger since the QFR with Green is still two months away.

Can't recall. Does the Trigger one of those dumb backlits with no onboard memory (ie lighting setup resets at each reboot) or do they keep their settings à la Deck?

You will definitely love the greens.  Although I would definitely prefer the Ducky over the QFR; at 88 dollars, the QFR is an incredible buy.  Especially considering the ~60 dollars price premium of the Ducky

I had a chance to try the Greens on the QFR before sending it back to its sender for replacement. (6 keys not clicking)
I really like the feel of the Greens. Now I just realized I accepted the offer of a Trigger from CM since the QFR with green is still 2 months away.
I'm not interested by the Trigger at all. Even with Greens. I will get rid of it as soon as it arrives.

NIB CM Storm Trigger $90 + shipping.

I received Pure with Whites/Milks last week and it have ~10 almost non-clicky keys. ~20 have good click and the remaining ~30 switches have sort of half-proper click - it's noticeable, but not as loud as that good ~20. I'm a bit disappointed with this board, will try to disassemble some non-clicky switches to see what's wrong with them.

Have a Trigger with greens with one key that doesn't click and a couple that click less than the others.  Can't feel the difference though.
