MX Greens on my Pure
« on: Wed, 24 April 2013, 23:25:46 »
Started the mods I want for my Pure today - beginning with LED removal (desoldering is hard!) and installation of MX Green switches!

Next up - PBT caps and an aluminum case, if I can find one!



The difference between greens and blues is actually less subtle than I expected. I'm getting a finger workout for sure!

Are you really leaving Blues on the WASD keys? That's certainly one of the odder variable weight layouts I've ever seen...

I was thinking of doing the same exact thing to my KBT Pure. Nice job!

how do you like the Greens?  I'm torn between trying the Greens on a QFR or Whites on a Pure.

With some PBT caps, they are awesome.  Like new-age Model M awesome.

I cannot say the same for the rest of the QFR, but the Greens are GRRRREAT!

p.s. I like Greens, Browns, Reds, Blacks in that order.  I dislike Blues and Clears equally, but for different reasons.

Really? Buckling spring have anywhere from 60-80cN of actuation force though. Don't greens spec at 80cN? Where do you think a unicomp would fall from 60-80cN? Closer to a green or a blue MX with a black spring?

Anyone here ever tried greens/blues with Clear springs? Kind of like an alternative ghetto green.

Also how do PBTs help the greens feel better?

I was thinking of making it my project for today. My QFR with greens is too manly for extended use :(

It's different than any other keyboard I've used. My hands are going to be so freakin' strong.
