So this wouldn't work with blues, but for browns, blacks, and reds you can always get O-rings to put under the keys. In college I played lots of video games late at night while my roommate was sleeping and once I installed O-rings on my MX reds he never had issues again.

Cool, didn't know that. Is the feeling any different? Anyway, that keyboard is gone and I am never buying one based on reviews only again. :)

Like the sibling comment said, it is a little less "clacky". The harder you tend to type the larger the difference you will notice. I tend to type lighter without bottoming out too much, so the difference wasn't as stark. Also, the key travel is cut down just a little, but I didn't mind one way or another.

The feeling is a little less fun, but still better than a normal keyboard.
