I've also considered liking it on a conscious level, yet for a daily driver, it gives me headache's, and I'm not the kind of person that gets headaches

On a non-daily driver tho, it would definitely be fun

It's like a subtle crow.. caw... caw....

Reminding us that within any amount of happiness, there is despair..



Personally, I enjoy this type of balance..

Probably because they don't have plates (at least it seems that way from the photos)

I would jump on a plateless TKL or arrowed 60% if there were any readily available ones

Egdx is plate mounted.. it's a thick plastic plate part of the housing..


it's possible that since the plate is less rigid, it doesn't resonate the ping as much.

Khan, maybe you need to go under Ping Therapy, which is, use an IBM Model M for a while  :).
See this short video for IBM Model M ping:

       

after typing for a while on one Model M, you'll begin to love the ping.

That's not a bad idea :D

I actually did something similar without intending to: I wasn't satisfied with my red board, so I got green's, but after the pings, returned to red's and started enjoying them

I'm not going to act on it, but there is a strong urge inside to bring back the clicks

With the default WASD keycaps on, I was really really enjoying that board, missing those moments now ...
