Are you addicted to the clicking sounds of your beautiful and impressive mechanical keyboard?
If so, this community is for you!
Here you can discuss everything about mechanical keyboards (and only mechanical keyboards).

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.
New here to mechanical keyboards- how do the clears compare? They still only bump or do they click on addition? What kinda force?
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.
What caps are those?
Signature Plastics G20
Where/how do you put in the O rings?
On the stems of the keycaps. Like so:
