I'm hopeless with sound profiles, but it's mostly not bad. Maybe on the line between poppy and thocky? Is that a thing, even?

In the end, we have heavy tactile switches (which I kinda like, despite being obvious knockoffs, but I'm usually team clicky), tall & reasonably beefy ABS keycaps, an aluminum plate, a cavity inside that's maybe only 1/2" thick, full of wires and with more aluminum on the bottom. Oh, and a typist who pretty much ALWAYS bottoms out keypresses. Whatever that adds up to. :-)

Spacebar is a little hollow sounding, and despite a little bit of silicone on the stabs, the one on backspace is a bit rattly (pretty sure that's the one from a batch I used to fill out an AleExpress order minimum, where the other two are durock). So, in the end, it's... fine? It's not quiet, but quieter than my Box Navies, which I will probably go back to in future builds because I need MOAR CLICKY.
