The keyboard is still fairly new and completely functional. I was wondering if there's any active community that I can reach out to that does keyboard swaps. I would be happy to trade this keyboard with anyone for a silent mechanical keyboard. Please let me know if there's a community like that or if anyone lives near the Bay Area, I would be happy to meet up as well. Thanks!  | ||

If you are set on switching check out geekhack, I'm sure you can find someone who will be willing to switch. | ||

I assume you are using blues so there is a click and then a clack from bottoming out, the o-rings will eliminate the clack. I got mine from here: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/cherry-mx-rubber-switch-dampeners.html. If you are set on switching check out geekhack, I'm sure you can find someone who will be willing to switch. Awesome! Thanks so much! I will check out the o-rings. Any tips on removing the keys...seems like quite a lot to do. | ||

They have a keycap remover tool you can buy, before I had that I would pull them out with paperclips lol. If I were you I would try to find some o-rings of each type to try before committing to buying them (dont wanna waste 20$ lolz), I can send you a few of the blue ones if you'd like as I have extras. + Show Spoiler + Or just buy a pack of all 3 if you've got the cash to spare :p | ||

I will let you know how it goes! | ||

Non blues are freaking loud, but blues are designed to have audible feedback. | ||

It is loud enough that I'm thinking about getting rid of it since I'm pretty sure my roommate can hear it through the walls. The keyboard is still fairly new and completely functional.

Do you mean it is too loud because your roommate can hear it or because it bothers you personally? | ||

And this isn't really a 1st world problem, lot of people complain about the loud clicking. Especially co workers and ex girlfriends.. | ||
