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. | ||

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.. | ||
