Louder than holy pands (purple review)

I thought these would be the holy grail for silent typing (and they still might be after some tinkering) but out of the box, they have this sound when pressed without bottoming out. I don't know if it's what people describe as leaf ping or spring crunch, but if I slowly press half way down, right after the tactile bump I hear a sound almost like a sticker being pulled off. Just for an instance, but I've never had my holy pandas or mx browns do this. I haven't had a chance to investigate this, but if I can resolve the issue I will update this review accordingly and add some stars. edited: see comments below

BountifulI also experienced this out of box, but have you installed them and tried typing with caps? They perform beautifully. Once I put them on a sense75, that sound became a non-issue and they are WAY quieter than at least gateron brown pro.

MeekzI wish I had more time to spend with these, I put half of them on my keyboard and it might be a preference thing, they seem a bit scratchier so I might need to add more lube for preference. It also may be that they are so silent that I’m picking up on other noises I wouldn’t normally hear. Overall, I guess theyre worth trying them out for the price.
