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.

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

"However, my view has changed in recent days. Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."
