KBDFans Tofu HHKB Hotswap: Fixing Ping and Reverb
My KBDFans Tofu was the ping and reverb king. It sounded terrible. The stock Cherry MX black switches didn't help matters as the springs are notoriously pingy. I left it stock so I could find out how much difference lubing and sorbothane would make. It made a pretty big difference.
Hopefully your speakers or headphones can pick up the terrible sound of the keyboard before modding. I was hopeful that the sorbothane would have an effect, but I was really blown away. The lube on the switches seems to be doing a great job, too. Oiled Sprit springs drive home the point.
Feels and sounds amazing. I may try to put some extra sorbothane on the plate directly below the spacebar and fill the remaining cavities of the spacebar itself.
Have you tried sorbothane or had a similar revelation that took a keyboard from zero to hero?
Regarding the supplier that provided the sorbothane I used. 10% discount if you buy 2 sheets. Other materials are available of course, but sorbothane does add a bit of weight. :)
