What are, in your opinion, some of the more consistently good switch brands, and some of the more consistently bad ones?
Switches are massively tied to personal preference, of course, and to other user-specific details (eg. typing style, hand shape, lubing style, keycap choice, etc.), but there are some objective factors to consider too: surely most would agree that excessive stem wobble, loud spring noise, or unreliable product consistency are all bad, for example.
For me, I've liked every SP Star switch I've tried, and I've disliked every Gateron switch I've tried (in both cases this could just be personal preference though). All other brands have been somewhere in the middle, with some hits and some misses. This makes it kinda hard to try and narrow down my buying choices (other than avoiding Gateron). So I'm keen to get a sense of what other people think.
