I recently acquired an IBM M13 clicky keyboard. Yeah, it's clicky, but it's not "just right." It's not a satisfying click.
What mods are there, if any, that address the following problems?
1. Keys are too light. Takes too little pressure to actuate. Not enough resistance.
Are there stiffer, thicker gauged springs available anywhere? I can't seem to find any information on this or sources.
2. The current springs like to reverberate. If I wanted spring reverberation, I'd turn on my amp and rock it back and forth. This particular nuance is driving me crazy.
I'm thinking maybe a wee bit of foam inside the coil, below where the spring collapses, would effectively dampen spring reverberation.
3. "Snapping" of the keys isn't tight enough. I dunno if this is entirely related to the first two or is a phenomena on its own.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!
