What layout and switch do you use and why?

<< < (2/2)

Sup:
I'm currently using a Wooting 60. It's modded with DCS Wob keycaps, KS20 Gateron white prelubed and an old Tofu case. I don't really like the layout, but I've gotten used to it. I just love linear switches a lot, and Hall effect switches are especially nice because you can change the activation points. It's actually a very good keyboard for both typing and gaming.

While I have a decent mix of everything from 40% to full sized, clicky to linear, modern to vintage, high end to budget in my collection. If I was pressed to choose a single layout & switch type to use from now it would be a WKL TKL (F12) with a good top mount & a good gasket mount implementation on it with light linear switches. Even though people like to meme that everything comes back to WKL TKL & MX blacks modded to your preferences once you've tried a good bit of what is out there in the custom KB scene, it proved to be very true for me. A good WKL TKL with really nice deeper sounding light linears is for sure my preferred setup after trying most everything there is to try as far as layouts & switches goes.

For this year, I’ve been almost exclusively using my own hand-wire builds with custom layouts, either a tweak to TKL that I think calls back older boards, or 1800 variations that don’t use stabilizers. Most have heavy clickies in them, but one I like has knockoff heavy holy pandas.  I just got some JWICK yellow to see if it’s linears I dislike, or just light switches in general.

For my desktop PC I use either a full-size keyboard or a TKL + Numpad. I prefer either silenced Topre or Silent Brown switches. For my iPad I prefer a 60% or 65% keyboard with Baby Kangeroo switches.
