After about a year of using my mechanical keyboard (blue switch), I gotta say I still prefer a brand new membrane keyboard. Cherry MX Clears with o-rings feel very similar to membrane. I didn't like the feel though | ||

Hopefully that novatouch won't be as pricey (probably will be, though). Anyway, I've used a leopold brown switch before and it sounds very similar to the topre switches. Anyone have any experiences with them? Do they have a fairly significant difference in the subtlety of the noise they make? Right now I have a Noppoo Choc Mini with browns, and my roommate had a leopold with browns so I have used both. For topres I have used my friend's HHKB . The sound on the topres seems a lot more buffered, and a bit quieter, even when compared to browns, for some reason the leopold browns sounded a bit louder, it might have been the keycap material, but yeah, if you want quiet, I think topres are slightly quieter compared to browns, at least in my experience. | ||

back in stock!~ I bought this guy so I'm waiting for it to ship, I'll have to wait 4 months before I can use it though since I'll be leaving before it arrives. I might buy another one too while I'm away, and some custom caps if I'm feeling ambitious :3 | ||

I'd try silicone based grease (not sure if that's the right type) or some sort of electrical contact cleaner in an aerosol spray can, a tiny drop or tiniest possible spray into the pressed down switch from the top. | ||

The 'Orange' Switch: Because I have been used to using Reds coming close to 2-years now, I was extremely sceptical about buying a new switch and trying it out, I didn't want to buy it, use the keyboard like once and never come back to it ever again. But I'm not going to lie, I'm glad I did. It's a great switch, it's very strange though and the feeling surrounding the switch is not like you would expect it to be. Even though it's supposed to be an ascendant from the Brown switch, it doesn't really feel like it all that much in my honest opinion, it's a really hard feeling to describe, it's 45g like browns and reds, so that's nice, it does have a very slight/tactical bump, but somehow, they have managed to create a bit more resistance than what I'm used too when using the MX Cherry Reds on my Noppoo, but I need more time to get used to the board, but thus far? I am absolutely loving the new switch and they are definitely worth a try, without a doubt. | ||

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try the grease. To clarify, it happens all over the major part of the main sector (letters and numbers) - where it has quickly increased from being an occasional hiccup to being a regular problem over the past weeks. The num block, f-keys, arrows, and function block seem fine - or I simply haven't noticed because I don't use them as frequently. | ||

http://www.wikihow.com/Spray-Paint I would just PM someone who posted results of doing it and asked them for their setup and advice, they'll probably be more than happy to answer you  | ||

It has dedicated volume keys and F keys are placed closer to the number row (maybe be a pro or a con, depends on your view). Two downsides is that it's only available with red switches and it doesn't use standard modifier sizes so keycaps for them are impossible to find I think. Thanks, I've actually been meaning to try out the reds having had Filco Blue/Brown, WASD Blue and 6gv2 Black in the past. Went ahead and ordered the K65, being easy to clean is definitely a big +, looks like you can just blow some air and the dust will go right out the other side. | ||
