Editing Keyboard modding (section)

== Altering switch sound ==
Switch sound can be altered by two methods: Add an 'O' ring to the bottom of your keycaps, or find a new keyswitch stem. In order to install the 'O' ring, all you need to do is lift the keycap off of the keyswitch, and slide the ring as far as you can onto the stem of the keycap. If you're looking to change your keyswitch stem, you'll need to take apart each individual keyswitch that you want to change the feel/sound of. If your keyboard is plate-mount, you'll need to desolder all of your keyswitches to take the switches apart. However, if your keyswitches are PCB mount, it's quite a lot easier to take them apart. Pull each of the tabs on the switches away from the actual switch, and slip a keyswitch prier underneath the gap between the top cover of the switch, and the base. Pry it apart, and lift the top off of it. Take the keyswitch stem out of the casing, and replace the stem with a new one, the one with the desired feel. If you're having a difficult time deciding which keyswitch delivers the performance you want, buy a taster kit online. Also, if you'd like your metal chassis to ring less, pad the space underneath the PCB with soft foam or felt and reassemble the keyboard. It should resonate less with every keystroke.
