Other than that i think it looked pretty good. Except for that volume scroll and some other stuff (they should have ignored the macro keys). But i would imagine it feels pretty good using since Logitech usually makes quality stuff. | ||

Environment is cubes for everyone, so I'm worried noise from blue switches will annoy people too much. Anyone have any experience with this? I like blues a lot, but I don't want to get them if I will be known as "that guy with the loud keyboard." :/ Well most people would say that it's best to check with those working in close proximity if it's alright with them, if it's not you might want to look into dampening them using o-rings, that seems to help quite a bit. | ||

I have o-rings on my blue switch keyboard and I can tell you it doesn't do much as the sound comes from the clicky side. I'm still digging my browns with o-rings though. They're pretty quiet for me and have not had a problem so far with any of my roommates when using them. | ||

Where is the best place to get o-rings fitted on keyboards? Is there a retailer that sells mech keyboards with o-rings already on them? also, do o-rings change anything besides the sound? | ||

The only e-tailer I know that fits o-rings for you is wasdkeyboards.com. Just to let you know, I bought 100 o-rings from my local construction store (fastenal) for 1.72 CAD. You could by the o-rings from wasd keyboards as well. they are 20 dollars I believe plus shipping and handling. You should buy a key cap puller or you could make a home-made one. | ||

O-rings help with the dampening for bottoming out but the clicky sound from blues comes from a little switch-like thing that gets clicked when you hit the key, before bottoming out. So o-rings will get rid of some of the noise but not the distinctive click that blues are known for. | ||

Logitech should look at it to see how to use orange properly. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fOZWK.jpg) The plan is to remove the browns and swap the brown stems out for clears, or the "ergo clears" mod. It's far and away my favourite mechanical keyboard switch and with the semi-death of my original leopold, this will soon be my main traveling keyboard. I'll be picking up the keyboard itself this Saturday, so I can give more info on the stock feel and features when I get it. | ||
