So really, HONEYB/*/GREY leftovers are items that have not reached MOQ ? Thanks for clearing that up.

Apparently it was the switch housings : on those specific spots, they are very slightly wider. Unfortunately I didn't have anything thin enough to wrap around the plungers to verify... I guess i'll have to settle with this :/ Glad to know that the mystery may have been solved at last. Just to clari...

I've swapped the stems also, so by elimination it would seem the part I didn't move : domes, are the culprits... also I didn't notice this before dismantling the keyboard so it must be something I did, but how can a rubber dome cause sharp sounds is puzzling to me.

That's what I thought, but then why dismounting everything and back still only cause this noise on the same keys (even when I put the springs under other domes) ? That's a mystery to me... At this stage I'm thinking about putting the keyboard in the freezer to cause metal contraction of the springs...

It's a plasticky sound, not really a frank "click", that is not always sounding the same, and it does happen even with the caps removed (on downstroke) and also when I nudge the key cap laterally. It's not about bottoming keys up or down -- it feels like it comes when there is slight pressure on the...

When I have been faced putting domes and springs back in order, I use my index finger to gently tap or jiggle each dome to get it to nestle into its switch. I then carefully place each spring into its dome and gently tap with my index finger to coax the spring into its proper position. This procedu...

Definitely and if I were you I'd signup on massdrop and vote for Granite R4 which might happen before round 5a ships.

Just be aware that TEXT legended ISO keys might look different from the rest of the set, whereas ICON legended keys do not.

The main curse of the NT is managing not to disturb the springs, which I have not managed to do on my first NT and it's still making me pay for it by making discordant sounds... Anyone have any ideas to remedy that situation (clicky noise on some keys) ?

On my top cover-less NT, I find that : SA R5, being higher profile, wobble more and consequently cause the plungers to rattle a little more laterally than DSA. SA R5 produces a less acute sound on release compared to Granite, which I find more appealing despite the wobbling. The sound of the space b...

I believe 7bit will not trigger production before Wotan appears to him in dream and blesses him to do so. Our mere mortal wishes are of no importance. Also, last night Belisama appeared to me in dream and said she would not allow this to come to pass if there not existed a set named HONEYB/FR/GREY. :?

My HyperRings(tm) should be arriving next week, I hope they are as good as they are hyped up to be.

Hypersphere, can you provide the Shore value of the ring material used ?

Thanks.

Ah, physics owned me again. RIght, actuation point of the switch is not modified - unless one uses too thick rings which compress the dome - but your graph shows that at no point the required force to move a slider is null. Help : how would you call the total required 'effort' to move a slider until...

It should be noted that placing rings on the sliders under the switch housing will cause a significant reduction in the actuation force amount of work necessary to activate switches, the more so with increased thickness of the rings used. I believe a mod should be designed to elevate the switch hous...

Add something normally via the bot and you will receive a new invoice with the new total. You can then pay more or remove something else so your balance is at zero again, but I don't think you need your balance to be fully paid at the moment (more like 80% if I understand correctly).
