Title: Hello
Post by: sasha on Mon, 08 March 2021, 09:39:38

I fell down the rabbit hole of keyboards properly sometime around quarantine (lost track of the time).

• Right now, I'd say my favorite keycap set would be either GMK Mizu or GMK ASCII. If a good deal on the aftermarket presents itself, I'll likely take it simply because how much I like them, even though it's not the best financial desicion to make at this time.
• My favorite switches are probably Koala/T1s. I love the tactility profile and the general smoothness in comparison to other tactiles I've used. Retooled MX Blacks are probably my favorite linears at the moment.

Current board:
KBDFANS Pebbles (Silver)
Brass Plate
Retooled MX Blacks (205g0)
HK Gaming Keycaps (was using IFK Cafe but sold those)

HI sasha. Welcome to Geekhack.

I think a lot of people got into the game when the apocalypse began.

I'm not a huge fan of either tactiles or linears, but if you like linears you might want to look at optical switches. They're said to be really smooth because there are no contacts that need to rub against each other in the mechanism. Board options, of course, are limited though.
