Haven’t seen the mod007 with silent keys anywhere else yet. How does it sound?

When the keyboard was stock it had a very hollow, metallic sound to it. See this video, skip to 4:01. Imagine this sound but less clicky. I then modded it with the tape mod and polyfil mod to get rid of the metallic sound and my keyboard now sounds like this.

Thanks! Oof, I’ve seen this vid and it got me scared. Your result seems quite good though. Especially like the fact that your spacebar doesn’t sound much different from the other keys.

I ordered the mod007 v2 yesterday when I saw that it’s available but on short stock, because pretty colors 😅 but then I’m doubting myself on whether I should have rather gone with a GMMK pro as that’s much more known and apparently easy to get very quiet.

If the GMMK Pro comes in the color you want then it's not a bad option, I like the side cutouts to show the LEDs. Everything else about the keyboard is essentially identical to the MOD 007. I had my mind set on the blue version but GMMK is drunk if they think I'm going to pay $170 for the keyboard plus an additional $60 for the blue case. I wish they simply sold the blue version by itself.
