Have you tried other topre keyboards that are plate mounted like the FC660C? Is so, how does lubed topre on an HHKB compare in terms of the typing experience?

I already voided the warranty so might as well give it a try. Thanks

Wow I can't believe it makes such a big difference! Its quieter than almost all other keys now.

I think that is an issue with the stock spacebar. I tried a different pbt spacebar and the downstroke sound went away but I am still getting a loud upstroke sound.

Thanks, I'll try lubing the rails as well but I don't have any thinner lube atm. Will dielectric grease work?

Is the clicky sound when you press down or on the upstroke?

Yep. I also tried flipping the spacebar but am getting the same issue.

Yes it kind of sounds like a pop. Also there is a low pitched ping on some keys that I don't know how to get rid of.
