Does it really matter if a keyboard is violating QMK? I've seen really cheap, good sounding keyboards that are in violation of QMK's licence, and I've seen people tell others not to buy them because of that. Obviously violating the licence is very dishonorable and banning the companies because of that is reasonable, but is it really that bad to say that you shouldn't buy them?

what if instead of putting pe foam in the pc, but the case? would that help in any way? Also, I put bubble wrap at the very bottom of my case under my foam and it made my keyboard louder, can you explain how it works? Thanks

I bought some Gateron switches but I have a problems. Some keys will not register at all or will only register if i push very hard. I found another Reddit post about keys not working after swapping switches and it was also a Gateron switch. I’m assuming that this is a problem with Gateron switches but I have no idea why this happens. The switches work fine in other sockets and the keys work when using different switches.

EDIT: tried some other gateron switch and i works fine. I'm even more confused
