I wouldn't call it pingy, but rather tinny, largely due to the ludicrously large volume of dense metal in the current prototype. (2.7kg built)
The objective for Prototype 2 is to introduce resonance in a controlled way that gives the board some character, whilst keeping the alphas and spacebar cohesive. The material ratios and contact surface area have already been revised to address this.
Keyboard sound is notoriously difficult to describe in words, so rather than listen to me wax off about it pretentiously, I'm tuning it to my ears first and then passing it to creators so you'll have a real reference point before the GB opens.
