You'll need some lighter springs. The easiest way to get those is to get some MX Red/Blue/Brown switches, either from another cheap used board or just buy them from WASD, and harvest the springs from them.
I haven't had a look inside my Leo, but as far as I know you'll also have to desolder the switches from yours in order to get the stems out and switch the springs over.
Current collection:
Filco Majestouch 104-Key, w/ MX Browns
IBM Model M 52G9700
Leopold FC200R, "white" w/ MX Clears
Ducky DK9008S \'Shining\', white backlit w/ MX Blues
Cherry G80-3494(LCYUS-2), w/ MX Reds for Portal Mod

Not mine, but I\'ve got access to:
Filco Majestouch Linear R Limited Edition, w/ MX Reds
Filco Majestouch 2 \'Ninja\' Tenkeyless, w/ MX Blues
Leopold FC500R, w/ MX Browns

Best to stay with regular clears. If you find that stiff, then try blues.

I have been able to use the clears for one month now... I will keep them.  Thanks Rigs!
