Oh God. Look who's taking underhanded jabs and making self-righteous comments (the both of you), which is also a sign of immaturity, because they couldn't handle someone using the word "retarded". Do you not know hyperbole? Exaggeration?  :rolleyes:

"Someone called me retarded! OHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

not really making a point here, but my Model F XT (buckling spring) and Zenith 100-1886 (skcl alps) are both much pingier than that WASD CODE.
to me it's just a preference thing. i don't see it as a flaw or low-quality thing. if it annoys you, i understand. if you like it, i understand!
i wouldn't call it an 'issue', though.

Also thanks for stating your opinion in a civil manner rather than flaming at the moment you see someone that has a different view than you.
 
Mate, there really needs to be some sense of perspective on this. Without the example you gave, your question sounds vague and honestly rather foolish; pinging is obviously to be expected from most boards with metal plates and stock keyboards, but not something as extreme as you showed. Likewise it is uncalled for to go off on fuzzy for interpreting your question in a way that many, I included, did as well.

Tried 2 different ones this last Spring and sent them both back - Man was the ping annoying just after a couple minutes.

I have absolutely no idea why people keep buying CODE's when everybody that's bought one has had nothing but problems. Also, the fact that WASD hasn't addressed the pinging issue after all this time to me means they don't care about their userbase.

Mine's fine.  MX clears, TKL.

In the rare quiet moments at work, where I use it, I can sometimes almost hear the ping, but it sounds more like gentle wind chimes and I am relaxed.

I've TRIED to hear pinging with my V60 MTS but I cannot detect any.

Its plate mounted alps switches that I lubed.  I really had no idea what "pinging" was until I heard that video of the code keyboard.  I honestly thing I'd have to imagine that sound on my V60 to hear anything similar when I'm typing, but then again... maybe its the way I type.  I just don't hear any ping.

What if the switches were lubed and dampened?  Would that possibly improve the sound?

Lubing is apparently one thing that almost always stops pinging.

I wouldn't let it discourage you, it's a fantastic board. And honestly I don't think mine ping anymore at all, was just on the 104 earlier today and couldn't hear a peep.
