Title: Long Time Lurker
Post by: aaron6301 on Sat, 05 December 2015, 17:23:05

Hello,

Long time lurker here. Thought I would finally say hello  :thumb:

That being said, here's my current workhorse setup.

KUL ES-87 with MX Browns dressed with SA Pulse and my Pok3r with Clears in a Tex Alum case dressed in PMK DCS Midnight.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Do you find the SA set a bit heavy on the browns?  I tried Nuclear Data Green and Hack'd by Geeks on blues and reds, and both were way too heavy.  OTOH I do have a preference for heavier switches ...

Do you happen to like green, btw? ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome Rowdy :)

I think browns are really light in general. That in addition to the overall height of the SA profile meaning more material, I can see how it can impact lighter switches.

Seeing as that was my first mech board, I too found that I prefer heavier switches when typing with a purpose. E.g. I use the browns for design work and the clears for front-end work.

Yeah, I guess I do like green  :thumb:

If you haven't yet, try the SA keycaps on the green switches :)
