Title: If I keep my keyboards feet up, will it produce a better sound/feel?
Post by: thesentinel on Sat, 15 February 2014, 16:04:58

I read on a youtube video somewhere that rubberized feet make a nicer sound. I'm curious as to if this is actually true.

Why not try it and find out? Are your ears not good enough? :))

Made a test;

Edit: Compared my Filco MJ2 with reds vs QFR with reds, unrubberized vs rubberized feet - I couldn't hear any difference in sound to be honest... Tried with the same keycaps as well.

My feet aren't rubberized.

Ah right. Fair enough. Can't say I've ever noticed a difference.

You can always try one of my mats (hint hint) I have a few left.
