my vortex race 3 gave out, and the backup board was more janky than i remeber it to be. surprisingly, a local shop even had multiple attractive options.

I built an ergodox from kit a few years back and that satisfied a lifetimes worth of desires to assemble keyboards.

since I got my board the whole universe of mech boards has exploded. and yet the switches I have - cherry clears - are still as uncommon as when I got this board I don't think I could handle another type of cherry style switch, they're all worse

blues are unenjoyable. clacky keybaords like a model m are glorious, but clicky is.. ugh what I probably enjoy most about clears is the resistant weight. its high. thats all I know (except it's super nice to type on)

varmilo makes quality stuff re: switches imo linear for gaming, with reds being the most resistant switch you could want, and tactile for typing work (preferably with variable force key weights, eg like in many topre real force boards) clicky keyboard are for clowns, unless you’re leaving a toxic open office with a bang (of the space bar on your buckling spring ibm model m)

Smythe posted:I have a Unicomp tkl I bought a unicomp like 10 years ago and was really disappointed with the build quality. despite supposedly coming off the old lexmark line it just felt like a cheap knock-off. burs left over from injection molding, odd coloring, etc have they stepped up their game at all? prices don't look all that far off from just getting older ibm/lexmark hardware off ebay

i like my clicky keyboard and use it for gaming. speed golds. just need good noise reduction so it doesn't trigger vc silent blacks on zoom because then i can get away with typing while other people are talking
