So it is an inevitable thing when buying a mech? If I understand you correctly it would seem that way.The switches are mass produced and go through quality control so I assume that switches on the keyboard are within the acceptabel normal tolerances. While some switches just make more noise than others, we are sometimes just oversensitive...hence I stickered and lubed my Shine 2.
Either way I don't think that it's normal for the whole board to ping.
Have you tried switching the spring in the switch? Is this even possible?

However, it is definitely not normal if all the switches ping. There may have been something wrong with that entire batch of switches or something.
AFAIK, you need to open up the switch to access the spring.
Also, I just realized that your keyboard is new so it might be going through a break-in phase.

put your ears up to the switch.. hold it down.. lift your hand as fast as you possibly can... EVERY SWITCH PINGS..
ah... ALL mx-switches ping to an extent...
it's a matter of how loud..
What's your ambient sound level.. you can check with a phone app..
When I had all my harddrives on my room did 40db, and I couldn't hear my ping.
But now that I've stopped competitively seeding, my room is 30db, and I started to hear more ping..

i keep listening to that track, and i think you are making stuff up. The only sound there is the normal clack clack clack of keys being pressed. Maybe my elderly ears are too worn out to hear what your youngster ears can hear. Have you tried going to a couple of rock and roll concerts? Something to take the edge off your hearing?

it's the high pitched boing-boing sound that springs make.. similar to a ring..
I will try the warranty and am sending it back. I hope this wont take too long to sort out, I am already missing her :O
Does lubing the switches help with the ping sound?
Finally I recieved my replacement keyboard and unfortunately the space bar key broke in the delivery and the packet itself looked like it was "tampered with" or something like that. May I say that I have a lot of luck with my first keyboard :|

So it seems that I'll send it back once again and hopefully than it'll all be fine. No tampered packet and hopefully no ping :) And no broken spacebar.

Thanks it helped a lot.
Finally I got my keyboard back last friday. It works magnificent, no key ping, no broken spacebar and the packet itself was in very good condition. Seems like the keyboard is finally in the state I wanted and thought it would be. Typing on it right now is totally different than before and I'm enjoying it, hopefully I won't get such ruckus a second time when I'll order my next keyboard.
Thanks for the support people :thumb: ;)

The Ping Report basically NEVER STOPS among MX adopters..
you are correct that it can ping both on the Upstroke and down stroke.. Usually it's the upstroke that people hear, because the down stroke sound is masked by the keycap striking the housing.
