_Question_: what do you think about the Bokeh Ambients Silent switches?

I am thinking of buying the Piantor Pro BT from https://www.keebart.com/products/piantor-wireless

_Background_:
1. I had an IBM Model M #keeb for 20+ years
2. I moved to a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with #Cherry MX Blues
3. I also had a GMMK 1 #MechanicalKeyboard with #Gateron Blues
4. Then I moved to an ErgoDash with #Kailh Whites Box (current daily driver).

Seems like I might have to replace the micro mouse switch on my Kensington Orbit K75327 trackball... The left click is registering double clicks. Hope I still remember my soldering skills! Will try to get some replacement 7.3mm silent Kailh switches.

Made some cat claws for my kids with #3DPrinting. Used #Kailh Navy Blue switches, because I'm not letting my kids click with MX Browns or Blues like plebs.

Changed the #Gateron for #Kailh White and Navy I had left over. Typing for longer times on the tactile switches just makes me feel icky. I need some clicks to give me feedback.

Bought some #Gateron Aliaz Silent Tactile Switches to switch out the brown Cherry switches in my #Epomaker #Skyloong #GK68 I use for work. Now I'm thinking of also changing the #Kailh Blue Navies in my #DygmaDefy... I do like the clicky Kailh, but tactile may be a new interest. Maybe I'll order some more switches to test. Any tips for tactile (that you can really feel and 100gf or heavier) switches?

Got my black #RastPort ( @rastport ) #KA59 replacement keyboard ⌨️ with brown #Kailh switches for my #Amiga 1200 several weeks ago. Had to wait more than a year to get one but finally it's here. Bought from @AlineaComputer. After some intensive days of using it I have to admit it was absolutely worth waiting for it! ❤️

Soldered new switches in into my good old Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum, as the old ones started showing wear. I picked some slightly heavier ones than the stock switches were (Kailh GM 8.0), thinking "well how heavy can some mouse microswitches be lmao".

Well very heavy. Need to retrain my muscle memory to do double clicks properly. "lmao"

Also I sorta broke the turbo-scroll mechanism of this mouse while fixing the switches. Bummer.

This is the oddest #KeyboardLayout I've seen in quite a while: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/01/20/bandit-pc32-standalone-colorforth-keyboard-computer-is-powered-by-the-raspberry-pi-rp2350-microcontroller/

And yes, the #OrtholinearKeyboard of that small #handheld computer seems to be a #MechanicalKeyboard, they say it has #Kailh Brown switches, seemingly MX compatible.

Moving around the O and especially the P and L key reminds me of the #keyboard layout of the #Enigma, also because I also already was experimenting with such layouts: https://github.com/xtaran/XTK/blob/master/Painigma27.md

키보드 스위치를 바꿀까 생각.
Kailh White Owl 스위치를 쓰고 있는데, 딸깍거리는 청축 소리는 아주 만족스럽지만 키를 누를 때 필요한 키압이 약간 더 가벼워도 되는 것으로 바꾸고 싶다.
Kailh Box Summer나 Kailh Super Bronze가 내가 찾는 스위치 같은데, 좀더 찾아보고 결정해야겠다.
