Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: are your Ducky keyboards "pingy"?

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]I have no reason to trust the user who goes by "blackwater" in any way but I had no other basis to choose a keyboard so I got one of those Ducky keyboards with the cherry mx clear switches (thanks for the recommendation!). It looks nice and it's fun to type on and it fits in my backpack so it's going pretty well overall. My only note (!) is that every time I press any key there is a quiet metallic resonant "ping" sound, the same sound for every key, like there's a tiny spring reverb inside the thing. 20-ish minutes of internet research has offered me two competing theories: <ul><li>This is the only bad thing about this keyboard but in 45 easy steps you can completely take apart the keyboard and lube a bunch of things and add foam insulation and it will fix it.</li> <li>This is a mechanical keyboard thing, just get used to it.</li></ul> It's not really bothering me very much, if I were not using it in a silent glass cubicle I probably wouldn't notice it. But it does make me wonder if this is the expected experience. I also don't know if I should be perceiving this thing as a "premium" mechanical keyboard, is a $150 mechanical keyboard a fancy one or a not-fancy one? They seem like analog synths in that you can really spend an unlimited amount of money if you want to go into super-premium territory.[/quote]
