Aha. A fellow sound aficionado to share tips and tales with! 
Here is another psycho-sound-feel related lesson I learned recently: I love the sound of Cherry MX Black housing but it feels scratchy. So I tested a psychological hack reusing the Trying new switches, lubes, or springs frugally trick:
- Use a hot-swap board to make experimentation easier.
- Use 10 to 20 Cherry MX Blacks (I replaced the stem with Kailh Pro Burgundy stems to double-down on the clack).
- Install them on the board in the order of frequency.
- Fill the rest with smoother linear switches. Spring weight should be similar. I went for the maximum smoothness, C3 Tangerine R2.
This was to test if variations in scratchiness reduce the perception of the same.
With test sample of one, I can only say YMMV but the result felt neither smooth nor scratchy in-use. Tested individually, I could tell but not when mixed up. It’s like my mind averaged the feel. Pretty interesting if true.
And how does it sound? Fantastic. Why didn’t the sound average out like the feel? I think it’s because great sound is more noticeable and memorable than borderline scratchy feel.
Take away idea is to consider adding some super-clacking switches like one would use spice in cooking to improve the taste. It doesn’t take many. Around ten or so should do it.
UPDATE: Beware that Spiced boards are addictive, making other boards feel boring in comparison. It’s more a fetish or perversion than a mod.
