Recommended Build from our friends at Mech.land
We recommend the following build adjustments for a slightly louder, but much crisper sounding and more bouncy / flexy typing experience:
- No plate standoffs except the two next to the knob
- No PORON foam under the PCB
- No PORON foam on the bottom case. You can use a little bit of polyfill if you'd like a slightly deeper sound.
- No PORON stabilizer pad under the included stabilizers.
- 205g0 in the stabilizer housings and stems and XHT-BDZ on the stabilizer wires.
- Lubed and filmed long pole linear switches (like Durock POM Linear, WS Onion, Penyu, Graphite Gold etc.) at the stabilizer keys, or at least the spacebar
