I just ordered a Node75 for the office, because I want to use a mechanical keyboard but the ones I already have use Kailh clicky switches and I don't want to bother my colleagues. I got the Blush Max switches, but then I read that some of the Blush switches have a double-typing issue. From what I gather it seems to be mostly limited to the low-profile Nano switches, but does it also affect the high-profile Max switches?

Title says it all, honestly. I've been having severe thermal issues with my ~6 month old ROG Strix G16, and I asked a reputable shop in my area to replace the stock liquid metal with Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet PTM. This laptop now runs better than it ever did new and I haven't even done all the thermal cycling that is recommended for PTM. I expected it to run a few degrees hotter but it's honestly in the same range as previously but I am now getting DOUBLE FPS in Cyberpunk 2077, no joke. I was getting right at 60FPS with lows in the mid 50s and highs in the low 80s but I'm now getting avg of 160+ with dips into the 150s and highs in the 180s. I think the stock liquid metal application was so bad that the Ultra 9 was not reaching its full potential.

Plus, I now get to sleep well with the knowledge that this will likely not degrade for many years and I don't have to worry about my motherboard shorting out from gallium exposure.

Anyone else just absolutely floored with the improvement after replacing liquid metal with phase change thermal pads?

I have seen many posts online where it is stated not to leave your HHKB in a carrying case when it is not being actively moved around because the pressure on the domes can cause them to cave in and become mushy.

In practice, how likely is this to actually happen, and/or has this actually happened to anyone here? I have a ~2 year old Professional Hybrid Type-S that has been stored in the official HHKB carrying case its entire life with no noticeable degradation in typing feel. Should I start storing it "properly", or is this more of an issue if the keyboard is going multiple years without being taken out and used?
