From Gateron Brown to MX2A Ergo Clear (lemmy.ca)

Swapped out the stock Gateron Brown switches for MX2A Ergo Clear. Added o-rings to shorten the key travel to 2.5-3mm. The result feels dramatically different. Individual key presses feel amazing. I'm not sure about typing yet.

Bump only. Imagine browns but with a much more distinct tactile bump. The bump starts the moment you press the key. There's no pre-travel. The actuation force is the same on paper - 55g. That said mine feel a bit closer to 60g. Perhaps that will decrease with use. Still 50-60g is generally lower than dome keyboards.

That sounds pretty much like what I think I would want.

Thank you. I will keep this in mind whenever I decide to upgrade.
