I will like clears, right?

By the way, is 'acclimatise' a word in a different dialect of English than American?

It's the British spelling for "acclimatize."

Heh you could almost say it is the non-American spelling for that word

so in other words, in Australia you would just say, 'grab a fosters'

I would say "grab a coldie" 'cause that's what I prefer.

ah ok...i'm not fluent in beer

I think this is getting slightly off topic

Hm, there were no replies when I started writing that ...

imo you'll need some strong fingers to type on them stock effectively. I just got a board with blacks today after using only browns and it was strenuous. But slap on some lighter springs and its good

Not with clears. It's easy to learn to release the switch just after actuation, as the force rises so sharply, so you avoid the high end of the force curve, leaving a switch that's a nice intermediate weight.

I gave my G80-3000LCQDE (clears) to one of our apprentices, and after he left, the other one swiped the keyboard immediately. The force curve of clears never seemed to bother either of them, and I had it figured out fairly quickly. There's no hard bottoming out (since you learn to release early), and no high force, but the caveat is that pressing a single key by itself can feel very spongy if you don't hit it hard enough to not notice, or light to enough to stop after actuation.

note the imo

right...............good point

some people have stronger fingers, others have weaker ones. I have weaker ones and thus prefer lighter springs

right- good days with strong fingers then bs's, blues, clears, etc.

fingers are weak- reds, browns, space invaders, linear whatever

happy-happy

Or you could exercise. That's what rock climbers do... and generally speaking, it applies to about any healthy person.

However, having strong fingers doesn't mean you can't use soft-touch switches. It's a matter of control/sensitivity.

After a bit of training, I rotate keyboards with reds, stock clears and scissor switches. No problem at all.
