Swapped out the stock Gateron Brown switches for MX2A Ergo Clear. Added o-rings to shorten the key travel to 2.5-3mm. The result feels dramatically different. Individual key presses feel amazing. I’m not sure about typing yet.

    New here to mechanical keyboards- how do the clears compare? They still only bump or do they click on addition? What kinda force?

      Bump only. Imagine browns but with a much more distinct tactile bump. The bump starts the moment you press the key. There’s no pre-travel. The actuation force is the same on paper - 55g. That said mine feel a bit closer to 60g. Perhaps that will decrease with use. Still 50-60g is generally lower than dome keyboards.
