I got a deathstalker v2 pro keyboard lately (btw, for $180 instead of $250 because of a bug in my local store's website lol) and it almost sounds like a memberance keyboard, probably due to the silicon dampners... Any way I can make it sound THOCK?
Is this satire?
Half satire, half I'm a complete noob in this field
I dont think you can mod it that much.

Can you elaborate?

Well.. I guess I'll just enjoy it as it is, since I do find it very comfortable, but after purchasing I started looking further into the whole mechanical keyboard world and I find the whole idea of building, switching switches and keycaps, making a keyboard sound good etc. very interesting, I just don't see the point in buying another keyboard if I'm not planning to sell the one I currently own...
You can still change switches if you're willing to solder and desolder, but other low profile switches won't really offer that much of an improvement...
Sorry buddy... You could sell it though (you will make a loss but not a complete loss) and put that money towards something more in line with what you really wanted? I mean something like a Royal Kludge will sound better, be easier to modify and not break the bank :) I found them great to learn on personally...
Having said that, if you like your keyboard keep it and enjoy it. You don't necessarily have to do what others do or even like/apreciate the same things.
A keyboard is not better because it meets the community's expectations and tastes. Its better because you like it or it suits your specific needs.
Personally I love a thocky keyboard but I also love my IK75 Pro with silent switches. There's nothing wrong with a bit of variety ;)
... The one thing you should get accustomed to though, is the idea that this hobby will inevitably result in you owning more keyboards than a normal human will ever need ehehehe
Edit: typo
Well I'm thinking of buying another one for work.. What do you think of the keychron k8?
To me it sounds like a solid option if you get the hotswappable option with mechanical switches. They also have an aluminium version that might be worth it if thats within your budget.
Speaking of budget though, remember to assign some for a lube station (not essential) and good lube (pretty much essential for switches and stabs).
ur not going to get thock with low profile switches .
I mean I find it super comfertable but... THOCK :(
So you want a thocky low-profile keyboard?
I'm guessing a tape mod of the pcb might help a tiny bit but that's not the point of low profile keyboards really. I guess it'll depend on where you buy from but can't you return it because you don't like it? and then just get something with a "regular" hotswappable pcb in a "thockier-sounding" case?
I mean, I do like it, it's comfortable for me, just the sound could be better...
Also I don't think I can return it since I opened and used it... Maybe at a later point I will buy a modifiable keyboard and play with those kind of things :P
So, basically, you sell it, buy a new keyboard with that money
