I just find the keys overly sensitive and I'm constantly hitting keys accidentally. Sound and feel is fine for me, but it is becoming a chore typing on it. Any suggestions? I tried the replacement clicky switches but they are too loud for me.

    And you tried the brown switches?

    I've only tried the Kailh bronze switches that come with it (only 6 I think), but I found them too loud for my tastes (I would also still need to buy a full set).

    It took me a while to adjust from brown switches to Linear Reds. In the end I think it was the right choice for me, as they're quite light I learned how to touch type, which I couldn't do on Browns.

    I just keep making too many mistakes. I've ordered a set of Kailh purple pro to see if it's a better fit.

    Yeah, the Purple Pro's are a huge upgrade. They actually feel very similar to the Silver's in terms of smoothness (they almost lack a tactile feel), but without a slight bump and less sensitivity. The are also quiet. It's a shame as I had to spend more money on this keyboard, but it definitely feels right to me now and I can type without making mistakes. They also feel like they would still be really good for gaming too.
