Leopold 980M with Silent Reds/Pinks.
What do you think of the board? Most importantly, how do you like the switches? Are they similar to reds in feel (and sound sort of?) or not?
The board feels great, nice and sturdy like most Leopolds. My first impression of the switches is that they
feel nice and smooth stock, way quieter than reds. I think I agree with others in that they maybe feel a tad heavier than regular reds, probably something to do with the silencing. I don't have any Topre, silenced or otherwise to compare it to, but I'd say it's the same level as maybe a little louder than my laptops keyboard with the exception of the spacebar and other larger stabilized keys, so significantly more quiet than regular cherry switches.
edit: I take back what I said about them feeling smooth, don't know if it was just the stock lube or what.
