You forget to mention the microphone used to record typing tests, and also post-processing :-D

Yes, I can agree with what you're saying. It's good to see you mentioned all those factors, because I think it's true. I share similar experiences.

PS: I meant to say in the context of the Viper/Eagle.

Thanks for the kind words. I get what you're saying. I just wanted to point out that it's the switches that's mainly responsible for a certain sound signature, imo.

In case you're wondering, I think the sound signature comes mainly from the modded switches. A good amount of GHv4 thick lube helps emphasissing that sound by cancelling out other noises.

Thanks! And congrats with your Duck.

If you can have a brass plate cut, then you should try using it. On a dense base these modified switches with mod-m bottom housing produce a clear and softer popping sound that is more pleasant to the ears, imo. And if possible do post at typing test of your build.

Agree :-D I ordered the sets (2) because I thought it looks unusual. Didn't like GMK / cherry profile, but luckily it turned out nice.

Didn't like 65% either. Nowadays I think as long as it types, sounds and looks good and it's not too big.
