  • I feel like the problem here is that you get people who are curious or like the other features the fridge has and just get what they can when theirs goes out. And while, sure, those people learn not to do that again, by that point the industry used that sales data as a “they must like it, lets do it across the board!” Instead of asking people or taking anything else into account when figuring out what products to continue making.

    In 10 yrs when those fridges die and people who “learned their lesson” go to buy a new fridge, there will be zero fridges without AI because marketing thought thats why they bought it and no one has any ability to buy a non-AI fridge anymore.















  • I built a board with Kailh speed coppers and orings for a similar issue… My daughter would get up early, like 7am and want to play various games while one of us were trying to sleep. And we also shared a wall. Even the gateron browns were louder.

    Another thing to consider is the keycaps. I found PBT cherry was louder and resonated more than SA ABS on the board she was using. YMMV. I hear foam/rubber sheets under the PCB and if you can afford it, a thick aluminum or brass shell.

    Not sure on specific boards. I tend to stick with TKL for the family PC and split boards for my wrist health.
