Title: SA profile on MX Blues
Post by: Photoelectric on Mon, 21 October 2013, 18:06:59

Dear SA-profile users,

could you possibly comment on how you like your SA profile caps on MX Blues, if you've tried them together?  How do the tall thick caps affect the click and actuation feel versus stock thin ABS / PBT?

I'm trying to decide if I should keep my Jailhouse Blues in their modded state or switch them back to stock Blues.  I miss having clicky Blues, and they feel great in dampened keyboards, and I hope to get a set of SA profile caps.

Funnily, I made a video today, and that has the SP SA keycaps, SP polycarb clear caps and zinc caps from feng. I made it to compare with the BS keyboard I got today.

I'll upload it to youtube soon.

I really like SA on blues, they are thicker and make a much better sound. They feel good to.

I don't have enough SA caps on hand for a full keyboard, so I can't really attest to the feel, but I've already swapped out my arrow cluster, and it significantly changes the sound in a way I can't really explain. I sounds less crisp, but in a good way. It almost sounds like a sword being unsheated in a very short amount of time. It has almost a bit of "swish" to it, without losing the "click" entire.

I feel like this doesn't sound like an endorsement, but I wholeheartedly like the sound of the SA profile caps over that of the OEM caps.

If that doesn't sound intriguing, I don't know what does! 

How about that video, MOZ? :D
