Good modern clicky switch?
« on: Sun, 30 September 2018, 22:27:59 »
Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to this keyboard thing and I'm planning on building my own mech. What are some good modern clicky switches I can use?

Thank

SMK switches of course!  You can get them in MX mount and they are one of the betters imo.
