Welcome to the best hobby around.
What keyboard did you get?

Welcome to Geekhack!
Bought SOME keyboards? How many? Which ones?
Have you used them long enough to have developed a preference for one switch or one layout?

Filco Majestouch Ninja Blue Switch
Filco Majestouch 2 Custom Edition Gold Plated Blue Switch
Ducky Mini YOTH Edition Blue Switch
CM Storm Novatouch TKL

I have tried blue, brown, black and red switches.
My favorite is blue switches.
I found all my three blue switch keyboards feel different.
The Filco Ninja is the best which is my first blue switch keyboard. I have used it for about three mouths. I love it so much.
The Ducky Mini YOTH has two strange keys. They feel and sound quite different from others. Moreover, I don't like the mushy Cherry stabilizer.
The Filco Custom Edition keys are so tight, I just received this one three days ago. I don't know why it feels so different from my Filco Ninja. It is disappointing.
For the capacities Switch keyboard, CM Novatouch, I think it actuates too soon. So I gave it to my girl friend. She loves it.

I am now looking for good PBT keycaps for my new keyboard.
Which brand will you recommend?
-
Vortex makes pretty good, and easily obtainable PBT keycaps. Ducky does as well. Keep in mind you can find cheaper sets, like the $20 on Banggood, but they are quite thing and don't feel all that much better than most stock caps. I would definitely encourage you not to write off ABS though. Good, thick ABS like GMK's or SA profile caps by Signature Plastics are as good as any caps I've ever had.

Thank you for your advice :D

A good selection :)
Favouring MX blue switches too ;) With a touch of Topre for good measure :))
Vortex PBT keycaps are good. Ducky make some good PBT sets too.
PMK make some nice DSA PBT sets (now that they have ironed out the alignment problems).
Tai Hao also make PBT sets, and although a cheaper option, they are quite reasonable for the price.
Also it seems that Gateron are making PBT sets (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71995.0).
