I just use deskthority as a wiki, but I plan to interact more with the community.
Living in Italy and appreciating old gear could mean that DT is the better match for you, but there are many people who frequent both forums.
NMB Hi-Tek "Space Invaders" are particularly nice in feel but very fussy to work with. For one thing, there is no strain relief for the mounting pins if you decide to un-solder them. But they are very stable with almost no wobble.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
