@Rekkert Welcome to the hobby.
I only got into it a couple of years ago, but it was honestly such a good thing to do. Makes Working from the PC all day long (and gaming most nights) so much more enjoyable.
@Rekkert @paulomalley MY PEOPLE! I went down the #MechanicalKeyboard rabbit hole a few years ago, tried so many different boards. I LOVE the hobby. Too busy as a dad of 4 to play with them as much as I want. Found my endgame and I've been happy with it for quite some time.
What kind of switches do you like?
@herchenroder
I can't speak for @Rekkert, but I am a big fan of #Tactile switches. My main board at the moment is a #GMMKPro with Glorious Panda switches, but I also have an #NK65 #Milkshake which uses some super smooth linear switches.
The NK65 is basically my "travel board" and comes to the Office with me.
@paulomalley @Rekkert ha ha yes - a travel board! I used to keep a full size board at work and another one at home. I thought about trying a TKL but I need that numpad.
I'm also a fan of tactile. I grew up on a Compaq rubber dome board that felt like a clicky switch because the domes had a real nice snap to them. Closest I came to reproducing that is Cherry clears. I tried Browns, too soft, Blues too loud, Blacks and Reds no feedback, they just bottom out.
