Mech Keyboard Suggestions? (Part 2)

**badman7772** · 06-9-2016, 11:19 PM

Ok so a couple of months ago I got my mech, and I was advised to get dampeners (but that never happened yet.) Quite happy with the KB I have now, but I'm not sure on dampeners.

It just feels like I'm pressing the keys so much down just to get a note hit, which is affecting my speed. Looking on the internet, I looked at this article and so far I'd be going with the AR-40 Blue.

Click here for what I'm talking about.

My question is what would be the best dampener choice for reducing the most distance possible to potentially increase my speed? I'm looking to place an order by tomorrow afternoon when I get off work. Thanks!

i would not advise using dampeners

learning to light tap (tapping without bottoming out) takes time but is the better solution in every scenario once you can do it

it's better to avoid getting stuck being used to orings

I recently switched from a Qpad to a Logitech Orion Spark RBG and I absolutely love it for playing FFR. They don't use traditional mechanical switches in this model though.
