I have a full Metal keycap covered board. And no they shouldnt sweat.

[Shroomster]

How much heavier are those. Might lighter the push, but slow down the key reset time. Other then that I don't see problems.

Are they heavier than plastic?

Yes much, very much when you have a whole boards worth.

Do they add extra time to the key popping up?

I feel like the weight difference between the metal wasd and the plastic everything else will make typing kinda awkward

Not really on clears, maybe on reds.

It will feel quite a bit different but I don't know of how much of a difference it'll make for you.

Question Profo you think they'll help stop from bottoming out or only make it worst? A roommate of mine has a board with both Clear and Reds and eitherway be bottoms them the heck out and it's annoying to hear...

He bottoms out clears too? I'm quite surprised since the spring is much stronger and they have a huge tactile bump. He types a bit heavy handed then best you could probably do it get orings to quiet him down quite a bit.

Yeah he used to be in the military and operated typewriters for archiving things on paper...  Thanks I thought of that before just was curious if this would help on top of that...

I'm trying to silence him on his keyboard not make it go click on top of the clack...

Well a BS board would make it click better

Probably try orings. Luring the switches helps as well as tightening up the internals so it doesn't reverberate.

Another great option might be topre. They also have a marvelous thock.
