That being said, you're asking on geekhack, and these days the most active commenting crowd leans towards the largest and loudest keyboard they can find.
I was going to leave this thread alone, since I'm not one to care much about following trends, like tiny keyboards, outside of portability and desk space, etc. I like everything from 60-65% (I need dedicated arrow keys, etc, as I can't just use custom desktop keyboards exclusively all day every day) to aircraft carriers.
I don't know that the giant keyboard and clicky trend statement is necessarily the case though. There's a handful of us, but especially when I'm going through and trying to respond to new member posts, etc, it seems to me that a huge proportion of this site's members prefer tactiles, linears, or both, be it because of sound considerations in environments with other people, or they just dislike the sound generated by any of the clicky switches that they have heard so much that they would rather have a tactile, or, like yourself, prefer the bump provided by a specific tactile switch. People also seem, to me, to tend to follow the general trends of tiny boards, specific stabilizers, lube this and that, dampening, etc, etc. Most of the threads, of any kind, that I see have to do with linears and tactiles, and usually on tiny boards as well.
You're seeing it in this thread too. Most comments are promoting the potential benefits of tiny keyboards. Who was a detractor so far? Chyros?
I think that's the case with the current state of the hobby, as a whole. I don't watch a lot of keyboard-related Youtube channels very often, but it seems to me that most of the big ones, with large followings, follow those trends moreso than anything having to do with giant, retro, and/or thunderous clicky boards. Supply and demand with kit boards follows that trend as well. Options are mostly 60% or find that one obscure thing that's in stock on that one possibly sketchy website, somewhere, and your options are just like how Henry Ford once put it so eloquently, "You can have any color you like, so long as its black."
That's not to say that this is a bad thing either, preference is preference, and supply and demand is a beautiful thing, even if someone may personally prefer that supply of a given thing were increased.
