Just so you know, tweeters are very directional and appear to be aimed well above where your head would be. Of course I could be wrong, but it's a pretty aggressive angle :'D

jeremyhrvtnThanks for the heads up. Someone on Reddit suggested I build stands and use the pads so the speakers stand flat . I'm planning to build stands out of cedar once my schedule clears up over summer break.

NoggiZenYou wouldn't be the first person to say that lol. I think it has something to do with the wedge shape and solenoid sound. I will say the switches are amazingly refined and balanced. They out perform all other switches I've tried by a fair margin, especially when you are typing words that require the weaker pinky and ring fingers to roll/tap tightly and in succession.

Rebehle420It's an original IBM 5251 beam spring. Check out the full gallery I posted earlier in this thread. I got mine from a private sale. They pop up on Ebay and classified threads every so often. Here is a great video about the 5251- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qw6ebySet0

zzzaacchhIt's possible to make an alternative low profile shell for it. They are talking about it in the workshop thread at deskthority- https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/ibm-beamspring-5251-great-white-low-profile-alternative-shell-t14292.html
