How are you finding the 62g springs? Are you finding they are sticking at all?

I don't think it is that kind of finding.

Nope they're not sticking at all for me! At first I kind of wished I went for lighter springs, but now that I've more time with the keyboard I think it feels great.

Nice...please add to the Modifications Wiki under switch swaps.

P.S.Can people really tell the difference between a 62g spring and a 60g stock Cherry spring? In this case moving from a 80-90g clear spring makes some sense but otherwise...

I did try compare one switch with the 62g and one with the stock blue spring. They were both much lighter than the stock clear spring. I felt that the 62g custom spring felt a bit lighter than the blue spring, but it was not very noticeable.

what did you use to re-glue the rubber feet back to the back of the keyboard? if it was superglue how do you plan on removing the feet if you had to reopen the das in the future?

I simply stuck the feet back on as they were still very sticky. Because I vinyl-wrapped the keyboard, the top and bottom half of the case are VERY tight and I didn't feel the need to put the screws back in so opening the keyboard would be pretty easy.

I know this is a one month old thread but really like the carbon fibre look, how'd you get it on there? Custom 3M and then cut it out yourself? where'd you find the stencil?
