I love my loud click Model01. I just bought a quiet click to try it out, but it’s unsatisfying. so I thought it might be fun to replace the switches. I think I read that Cherrys won’t fit in a Model01, right? What can I swap in that’s loud and clicky and requires more force, like the Cherry Greens? …

You can’t use Cherry as they are the wrong Keycap stork shape. https://matias.ca/switches/click/ The Matias Click’s are the ones that were on the Loud Click board. The other option is to wait will the Model100 is out, as that will be the same shape, but hot swappable switches and Keycaps molded fo…

The current keycaps are molded for Alps, which is the same stork as the Matias. If you want to convert your Model 01 over toe a loud click then any Alps key switches will do, such as the Matias Clicks

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I already have the Loud Model01, which uses Matias Clicks. I just bought a Quiet one to try it out, but it’s too quiet. So I want to substitute a new kind of switch, so it’ll be even louder and clickier and firmer than the Loud one. So I was wondering what switch to use.

The keycaps will only mount to Alps type switches. The only company making these now is Matias. They have three offerings, of which you have already two: clicky and tactile quiet. They also offer a much lighter, linear switch that is not going to cover your needs: they barely make any sound and have…

Well, AFAIK only Matias makes new Alps switches but again I’m no expert. Maybe something has come up lately, but at the time they were the only ones doing it.

The other option may be to sell your quiet click as-is to somebody and pick up the model 100 when it comes out and is available. It will have hot-swappable cherry-stem key switches, so you’ll be able to have a much larger selection.

Oh, I’ll be getting one of those regardless! Like I could avoid buying anything Keyboardio makes.

[image] fire: I thought there were other companies making Alps switches now though? Nope. Outside of Matias, all the Alps action these days is in harvesting switches out of vintage boards. If you’re looking for heavy clicky, your best bet is probably SKCM Amber .
