Title: Keycap Sampler
Post by: hagos on Sat, 21 September 2019, 15:58:05
Hello,

Wanted to know if you guys have some recommendations for samplers or if the Amazon sample kit is good enough. Also would like to hear what your recommendations are (yes I know everyone has a preference but I just want a starting place to figure out where to go).

What I use:
MX Blues on a HyperX keyboard - clicky, responsive, the bump is meh, possibly a little quieter than I would like, and too light. I find myself double pressing keys due to how light the switches are.

What I am looking at:
Kailh Thick Gold, Gold
MX white, green
Gateron Tealios
Halo Clear?
and lol Holy Panda's because they sound amazing but from what I hear are impossible to get? or around $5 per switch.

Look forward to hearing.

Go on massdrop they sell holypandas, not as expensive as you think, I'll just list the best switches right now on the market, for linears: gateron inks, tactile: holy panda, zealios(preference) clicky: for heavier and super thick clicks go for box navy or box jade (I would advice against clickies) as linears and tactiles feel much better.
