Mechanical Keyboard Sound Isn't That Simple
Figure 1: I couldn't think of a more literal way to represent this article if I tried... Looking back just a few years ago, there’s no doubt that the huge influx of people that joined the hobby at the peak of the COVID pandemic were drawn to keyboards by way of YouTube, TikTok, and other audio-visual content platforms. Even as the output from these content creators has waned in recent months, their collective impact and legacy on the keyboard hobby is rather firmly etched in the history books. As a result of all of their sound tests, build logs, and opinion videos, the message is clear to any new person joining the hobby: mechanical keyboards are all about the sound. Thock this, clack that. Whether it’s keyboards, keycaps, or even singular switches, seemingly everyone new to the hobby meticulously pores over each component of their keyboard not in an attempt to figure out how it will feel in hand, but how it will sound as they’re furiously grinding their way out from...

I have since created a TrueFox Blank layout and flashed it but it does not seem to be working well. Still figuring it out a bit, it may very well be a problem with my understanding.

Have a swell day.

To be honest, a bunch of the keys look off white in certain areas as well (slight yellowed or so). Might just be from the uneven thickness that people have been showing with the bleed through from their LEDs.
I've also noticed that I received a blank 1.5u key right above where the "any key" is missing from. I've seen unboxings and noticed that it should be a "FN" key.
