So I never used mechanical keyboard/switches, probably never even saw one IRL !! Only used chicklet ( laptop) and cheap rubber domes in schools.
My idea is not just buy from the store shelf, but to opt for higher quality. I like 60-75% keyboard size, minimal look (DSA profile is a plus from me !!). I quite like vortex line up (Core, Vibe, Race 3).
My decision ended up building it myself, as hobby and new area to discover. What is your advice on first MK ? What is the safest bet in terms of switches, considering that I always used chicklet/laptop keyboard ? Would it be linear or tactile ?
I like side profile DSA keycaps and they are closest to laptop keyboards, so I think my choice is decent.
Maybe share your first MK story, or even you also switched from laptops !!
