I actually really like my Cherry silent red. It's good for a budget board that won't sound good using the regular enthusiast grade switches, as the case will really hurt the sound profile. Having that silencing property and some additional lube make them feel and sound alright. Definitely going to step up to a full custom board later though, but that cost money that I can't really just throw around. The thock will have to wait, though it will be worth it.

[@joshuadawes7032]

I'm definitely out there with my switch preferences. I prefer heavy actuation force (like 70g+) and extra clicky switches. Box Jades or maybe some old school Cherry Greens (or buckling spring if I really want a nostalgia blast lol). For reference, I write copy for a living (as well as organize and plan content schedules for websites) and type around 80k words a week. You'd think I'd like lighter switches with that workload, but here we are lol.

[@CamdenBloke]

I got a DasKeyboard that I've been using for about 4 years. I recently decided that I wanted a wireless one with clicky switches and a numpad, so I ordered a Keychron K4 that comes Thursday. I know they aren't supposed to be *as* good as they were, but of all the options I could find it seemed like the best bet. I'm a little concerned about the fact that it's for my work laptop, which goes through a grub screen because when I installed ubuntu I left Windows as a boot option (and have never used it) and I might not be able to navigate the grub screen with a bluetooth keyboard - but I'll see if I can configure it to automatically go into ubuntu unless I override. Basically I wanted to be able to kick back, put the keyboard on my lap, move it around, etc, without worrying about the cord knocking stuff around on my desk.

I almost wonder if there's a way to make a silent switch by dampening the upstroke and using like an optical layout, but using something along the lines of like... imagine a strong magnet in each and every switch that rather than you bottoming out, it forces the key back up at a certain point to prevent a bottom out? No idea if that would ever work but that's the only way(and probably an expensive way) that I can see avoiding the mushiness and "scratchy" sound of a silent switch. I like silent switches for how they feel. A really tactile silent switch is -awesome, it's the bottom out sound the silent switch makes that I can do without.

I'm a clicky guy, and i was one for almost a decade. Until i started working at home and started typing a lot, blues gave me an headache, browns allows the typing experience to be at least not painful.

[@codyroberge2911]

I just got my first mechanical keyboard this week (iKBC CD108 V2, nothing too glamorous but from what I've heard and experienced so far a perfectly decent keyboard) after wanting one for over a decade, but I still have like 5 old crappy keyboards lying around because sometimes you just need one. Maybe once every couple years I have a need to dig through my bin of old computer junk and pull out a keyboard that remembers where it was on 9/11 and I'm always glad I keep them around when those times come. As for switches I'm also team Brown because I'm married and want to stay that way.

Love the channel! Actually just bought a Keycron C1 because of you. As a 20+ year programmer I'm just now getting into the custom keyboard market. The real issue for me is "where can I find switched to touch and test?" That's the main issue for those getting into the "hobby" and kept me from starting for so long. I finally decided to just buy one and start figuring it out for myself. Your reviews and information are outstanding but a sound test through crappy internet audio doesn't really help me get a feel for those keycaps and switches. So until these components become more common and I can go to Best Buy and try everything out I think the market is going to as scattered as you mentioned. Give it about 5 years and the big companies will take notice and start having those kiosks at Best Buy and it will really explode.

[@chriswheatley3146]

In the same boat of been programming for about forever and just recently getting into more custom of a keyboard besides a Rosewill cherry mx blue special that I had for 8+ years. I recently got a ducky x varmilo with cherry mx clears for work after trying a keytester for the switch type, trying someone else's ducky for build quality, and suggestions given by Betty and others. My next jump will definitely be down the rabbit hole as I'm looking into hotswap to try different switch types.

[@appsbyaaron]

@@chriswheatley3146 Yeah I chose the hot swapable keyboard so i could play around with different switches. I didn't want to get "locked down" with one kind and then find out I didn't like them. Too expensive to buy a whole new board for new switches IMHO.

I really believe 65% layouts are the way of the future for 90% of consumers. I think as these smaller custom keyboard companies become more prevalent our ability to get custom parts will become much more consumer friendly.
