Question about a Lexmark Model M 1390401 (1996) I just got

Just got this one, great condition:

But it sounds a bit different. Namely it doesn't seem to have that tin-y hollow "pin" sound after the click which you can hear in these videos:

Does anyone know why? It's definitively the same buckling spring keyboard. It also definitively does not sound as loud as I would have expected.

Don't worry about it. Every one is different. Some people like them crazy loud, but feel is what's important.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Actually I figured it out and 'fixed' the issue.

The previous owner had done a floss mod, I removed it. New sound:


A lot more tactile and ping-y. Love it now.
