o-rings arrived and have started the fiddly fitting process

they make a difference for sure, the click remains, but the clack goes

The click can be modified with silicone grease, if I've understood this right. Not sure it's worth it though.

well even fitting 68 o-rings was surprisingly time consuming

if you want to get grease around the click, you would have to prize apart each switch

its not happening

Yeah, I get that. This is good, clean fun for sane people:

This, on the other hand, is howling, raving, Lovecraftian madness:

haha - an mx switch would be even harder - i'm not totally sure you could do it without removing the switch from the plate, which would prob mean unsoldering each switch from the pcb prior to prizing it apart, adding grease, clipping it back together, pushing it into the plate and soldering back on to the pcb. repeat x68.

I think I'll stick with my 'just fine and about fit for purpose' k260 thanks ;)

having had a week or two back on the logitech, I think the filco is consigned

Its not really making a difference, its not pulling its weight, its not paying its way

An analogy being my cycling experience on a £250 bike is not being hampered by my lack of a £2500 bike - It is the legs and lungs which are the more pressing issue

at least it was a proper experiment though (davkol feel free to disagree with this)
