Stiffening Cherry MX Red switches?

[Ptopman]

So I recently got a Corsair K70 from a friend who no longer wanted the keyboard, so he just gave it to me. Now my question is, is there a way to make the switches a bit heaver without opening the switches? I ask this because they are so light that the weight of my hand will depress keys every now and them making me misspell way more than usual. I would manually switch each spring out with brown springs but to open the switches I would have to desolder the LED and I don't feel like doing that with over 50keys...

You could probably put a spring around the cap stem but you would have to find suitable springs.

Not too sure if itd help too much but maybe adding dampners could do something, or something else like a spring.

That is what I was thinking but was wondering if anyone on here knew of some, tomorrow i'm going to do some research on springs and see if I cant find/ test some.

I was thinking about dampeners as well but they really only act when the key is already activated.

Rubber o-rings will only make the situation worse. As you say, the Red switch is a very easy switch to actuate which can lead to typos and whatnot. Adding the rubber o-ring will make the key travel shorter (to bottomming out), and will make the keystroke feel very quick. And overall it just doesn't feel good to me, almost membrane like. But as you said, it doesn't make a difference in the actuation of the key anyway.

 

But this is just my experience and opinion. I've tried it myself

 

Only way would probably just be like what was mentioned above, by adding a spring somehow. Otherwise there's not much you can do.
