I'm pretty new to the hobby, I just got my first couple sets of switches and I'm looking for a few recommendations on approaches to switch testing. My first real mechanical board is the Drevo BladeMaster Pro with browns, that I picked up as an early bird on kickstarter, It had a lot of features I thought wanted at the time. During a trip to Europe I did some damage to one of the stabs and the "C" key, I repaired the issues easily enough, but it got me thinking about modding the board, the switches feel loose and dry now that I've acclimated to the feel of a mechanical board, also they're barely tactile to my fingers at this point(particularly the repaired "C"); I started lurking here after that and now I have a full custom on order and went and picked up a couple different sets of tactile switches. I was thinking I could replace a region of keys on the BladeMaster as test to see what I liked or didn't like about the switches I purchased before building a complete board with them. So how misguided am I in my approach? is there a particular region I should replace or is it better to just do the whole board at once? Should i just leave it and take advantage of the fact the cherry browns can be opened and lube them and live with what it is? Professionally I service and calibrate electro-mechanical equipment, so this isn't about technique or the work involved, really its about methodology and approach to learning about my taste so that I waste too much time spinning my wheels on bad ideas and get to build a couple of boards for work and home I can enjoy in all the ways that this board has been disappointing.
