Title: Anyone have QMX clips and SA keycaps?
Post by: ika on Tue, 16 February 2016, 20:55:39

I've been on the verge of dumping all my SA sets just because I don't like the sound they make when they bottom out, but I like the feel a lot so I've been waffling on it. I just had a genius thought, how would SA caps sound on QMX-clipped switches? If they are as silent as GMK advertises, this might be my ticket to SA goodness. Anyone have both of these things and a way to compare? Thanks!

The upstroke is silenced, whatever the keycap. For the downstroke you could possibly add some orings that will work impacting the clip. You will need many of them, there is a guy in gh that sells the thick version (probably lwlp)

You could for example combine one thick and one thin oring.
