Greetings from London!
I got into mechanical keyboards when I was a child and have loved them ever since. I used to own a IBM Model M which was unfortunately thrown away by a couple who did not know the true value of the keyboard. I also used to own a BBC Micro (I quite liked the feel of the keyboard) but that eventually broke down and had to go to the recycling. I currently have a Dell L100 which is my main keyboard. It's a good keyboard but not really the one I would pick from a range of keyboards.
My favorite Cherry switches are Browns and Blues because they just feel comfortable to me. I don't really like Reds a lot because they feel uncomfortable for me but if it was in a situation where I had to pick between Reds and rubber domes, I would definitely pick Reds. I love buckling springs because they were the type that I grew up with and they are really nice for typing.
Anyways, I'll see you all on the forums!
