blues for anywhere where there's no-one around to strangle you for the noise

clears anywhere else

pretty much

only bring blues in the office if you're also comfortable using your keyboard as an improvised weapon when they inevitably come for you

skip the wasd caps and get yourself something else instead

tai hao caps + keyless wasd is about the same price as a keyed wasd, and won't look like garbage in a few months

Arguing about which cherry switch is the best is like arguing which Yellow Tail wine is the finest. You might be right, but you're still drinking a 10 dollar bottle of wine.

clears get described as "stiffer browns", but they have a bit more to them. specifically, the tactile bump is more prominent and the bottom-out force is higher. you really have to try hard to be frequently bottoming-out keystrokes.

blues are fun, but i'm kinda over them. the clickiness is distracting for me, and i don't type very well because of it.

how's the knob treating you

we lost our knob so we got another one and then we found our knob so now we have two

meanwhile a coworker got a fancy wifi or Bluetooth knob from Europe that also has a touch pad on the bottom and accelerometers in it, pretty nice feel too
