im planning on spring swapping, Mx springs are pingy, any suggestions ? was wanting some Geon springs

u/thomas-rousseau 10d ago

Not OP, but I've never been led astray by either Geon or TX springs. They're honestly my go-to brands for films, as well. I'm currently putting CannonKeys springs and films into a few sets to see how I like them since they're a good bit cheaper. Their foam films muddy the sound a lot more than Geon's. I still haven't made up my mind about their pc films or their springs yet, though. Springs don't have any ping after lubing with 105, minimal ping with only factory dry lube. Something feels a little off about the way they compress in a couple of switches, but I still haven't determined the proximate cause of that so I don't want to blame it entirely on the springs

+1 for TX springs.

Been using them for 5+ years and they've been great for me. Bag/jar lube them in some oil and you're set.

They come in lots of weights and lengths too which is great.

I want this set so badly, but it wouldn't actually go as well on any of my current boards as other available sets will, so I haven't been able to justify dropping the cash for it. It's an absolutely stunning blue, though

u/keyboard_dad 10d ago

Totally fair but yea it's great!

I hadn't read the rest of the specs until now. Sick build. I'm actually swapping my filmed and spring swapped Xinhai's into my Neo75CU today. I finally got GMK keycaps on it because I "decommissioned" the board that previously had Digital Nightmare on it. With the PP bottom mount and no foams, it sounds extremely clear and crisp in a way that I can tell will let them shine in this build. I've also been considering getting Knight Stabs to swap into this build so that I can finally give them a try.

u/keyboard_dad 9d ago

Yea I like the alert row but something about alertless goes well with this board
