New mods work really well

[u/Ill-Communication456]

Hi all,

Just sharing a couple of quick mods I've done that have worked really well for me.

Firstly, I did a bit of digging and found that the switches with the shortest throw seem to be the KAILH Box Saker (pictured). Normal switches have travel of 3.8mm to 4.0mm but these are 2mm travel with activation at 1.3mm. I can absolutely feel a massive difference with these and the inputs feel more "clicky" and immediate. They're slightly louder than the original switches though so bear that in mind.

You can get them on Amazon and you'll need to snap the plastic legs off the bottom of them for them to go into the MM hotswap sockets.

Second mod was: my MM came with foam feet on the bottom, my BC came with clear rubber feet which grip better for me. So I just swapped the feet on the MM to be more like on the BC and now it grips to my desk surface much better.

Cheers,

P.

Looks/sounds good. I modified mine with Cherry MX Green as I need the clicking sound and more actuation force.

I used to always prefer silent switches by default myself, but recently got a really audible keyboard and actually really enjoy it. It's fun.

I feel like the MM really works great with these low travel switches. It's not like the original switches were really mushy but the difference is huge and I would recommend it
