I read on a youtube video somewhere that rubberized feet make a nicer sound. I'm curious as to if this is actually true.
Keyboards are the only thing keeping me from consuming human flesh.

Why not try it and find out? Are your ears not good enough? :))

Made a test;

Edit: Compared my Filco MJ2 with reds vs QFR with reds, unrubberized vs rubberized feet - I couldn't hear any difference in sound to be honest... Tried with the same keycaps as well.

!SCAM ALERT! Be careful of BunnyLake, he scammed me out of a 360 Corsa, KMAC Happy and a JD40.

Ah right. Fair enough. Can't say I've ever noticed a difference.

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933
