Im using my first mechanical keyboard and the experience has been great so far but, it is quite loud, especially at night, which cheap mods i can make to make it quieter while i can do something like changing the switches?

    I feel her pain. It took me a long time to get comfortable with the Kinesis, and even longer to be able to go back and forth with my gaming keyboard seamlessly

      It took me about 3 weeks to surpass my regular typing speed on the Kinesis, but I never had any issues going back to a regular keyboard. The only fucked up thing was changing keybinds for games, since I can’t reach some of them on the Kinesis with the split keywells. Then if I play on a different computer none of the binds match. I’m sure I could program another layer on the Kinesis to overcome the mismatch, but I never took the time to learn about all of its amazing features.
