Hi,
Currently using 2 production TKL boards with cherry mx red and browns. I want to build a 67% board. I looked through kbdfans and I definitely want to use the tofu 67% case along with a polycarbonate or carbon fiber plate. The only problem is I don't know which pcb and plate is compatible with the tofu case. I'd appreciate if someone with more experience could help me put together a parts list.
Since I'm new I don't know the differences between hotswap and soldered boards outside of the obvious. Does one have a better feel than the other? Is one better/worse than the other? I don't care for RGB, and I'd prefer to have usb-c.
Are there switches out there that are comparable to the cherry mx reds and browns in feel and weight but are of higher quality?
I understand there are a lot of variables to get a certain sound out of a keyboard. Given that, what mix of parts would net a not so loud thock sounding keyboard? Not really into the clack sound, but a deep low sound thock is what I'm going for.
