Hello, I recently purchased my first mechanical and I've been enjoying it. There's one question I have though, I've noticed that i can hear a faint ring coming from the spring in most of the keys, is this normal? I have kailh blues switches in this keyboard (I'm too cheap for Cherry MXs)
Any answers are appreciated, Thanks.
 
Solution
Mine aren't terribly loud (Cherry or Kailh blues here, never sure which), but it is definitely a thing I can hear if I try. Most springs will generate some sort of ring when allowed to decompress rapidly. If it's super loud, that may be an issue, but I wouldn't worry too much.
