Thanks for your warm welcome!
I am thinking of starting with something small - maybe a macro 2x2 keypad + rotary encoders, and then slowly walk the way up to bigger size keyboards with more experience and confidence. I also own a cheap 3d printer at home, so a I was thinking 3d printed keyboard like SiCK68 would be a cool and budget friendly project for a newbie like me!
For switches, I did a quite bit of a research and decided to go with BOX JADE for my MK debut. They arrived a few days ago, and I'm in love with their sound! I decided to go with clicky because I wanted to have solid feedbacks when I type.
I also ordered outemu silent grey (they're freakin' cheap! Less than 20cents a piece), and I'm waiting for their arrival. Just searching and studying about different switches bring me so much joy, and I think I will order a big switch tester soon.
