I've always used vintage mech boards. I finally got a modern one.

Now that we're in basically the golden era of mechanical keyboards.  So many switch choices.

Keychron C2, hotswap, reds + SA Monster caps, under $50 on amazon.

The reds are too light, as I suspected - which is fine, because I have nk box pinks on the way.  I probably won't do any dampening/quieting mods because I came from loud ass vintage boards that had no internal dampening, and that's the way I like it.

That is a beautiful keyboard.
And now I am missing my Volvo 744t.

I love these caps. Teal/aqua tones are among my favorites, and these caps have 'em in spades, plus a huge retro vibe due to the shape and font. And the beige case with dark/black caps theme is reminiscent of some old IBM beamspring boards and even Selectrics.

Sweet. I have MG Monster, which have a great profile for typing.

There's a lack of full-size boards, and that seems well-priced.

How is the noise level? Is it annoying? My Filco Majestouch with MX Browns is pretty pingy for a 'premium' factory board. [Well, okay, it has subsided over time.]

Stabilizers decent? If it doesn't have ticking/wobble, that's good at least.
