Buckling springs buckle and rattle, they don't click --- I do like that sound :) MX blues don't klick, so I guess what sound you get depends on the rest of the keyboard. The one I have sounds like plastic, which it is, and I don't like that sound. If they were clicking, that probably would only make it worse ... -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
