I see. Haven’t used Akko software before. If it lets you change the encoder resolution I would try that

Windows by default goes by 2% whenever you hit the volume up and volume down key. The rotary encoder just sends that keycode. If you want to change the percentage you have to use autohotkey

yeah been doing it for a while but often times not enough

i’ve definitely experienced tactility loss, i just think it’s overblown, personally. 3203 is very forgiving but i’ve overdone it on a few even with that

I think the only switch that i truly feel is not worth it to open up at all is aflion melody. i got a sample pack of 10 and rushed to order 100 more when i found out it’s discontinued

even baby kangaroos i felt needed a bit of tlc. it’s a personal preference thing though

yeah sometimes physical defects like the leaf being bent can’t really be overcome. with silent switches sometimes the scratching from the silicone can mimic leaf chatter as well. if it is really the leaf you could try carefully doing some 3203 on the front of the leaf and 205 on the back of the leaf. some people even do stab lubes like 206/xdtbhz/dielectric on the back of the leaf (as long as you don’t get it on the front)

tedious though

i mean, what tactile switches have you tried? leaf ping is pretty unmistakeable. order some T1s and find out lol

Love the look, did you mix two keycap sets? What is the ‘2’ key where the ‘`’ normally goes?

MX Blues I love less. :D. If you like clickies, box jades are where it’s at.

right, people usually avoid the feet and leaf with 205 to preserve tactility but it won’t kill the metallic pinging. a tad of 105 on the leaf helps reduce the the ping without killing tactility

if you have some 105 oil and are willing to lube, 105 on the springs and a tiny swipe on the leaf contacts should greatly reduce that metallic sound without smoothing out the tactility. browns are very lightly tactile so i wouldn’t use a creamy lube on the leaf

ah i didn’t realize there was a silent and half-silent version. good to know, ty!

​

u4tx are a bit strange yeah, but i greatly prefer them to any switch with that mushy silicone feeling. people in my office take loud sales calls so I feel like some half-silent switches + poron switch pads is more than quiet and considerate enough, lol

You should try U4Tx if you haven’t before. My favorite (semi-) silent switch and I hated U4s. I liked the shrimp silents the most out of the others i’ve tried. TTC bluish white was nice but the loud clacky top-out sound was annoying in combo with the rest of the switch i think
