So I want to know fellow GH'ers, which key switches have you found to be the most satisfying and why?

Could you possibly change the thread title to something just like "General Switch Satisfaction"? We really, really, really don't need another "vs" thread.

That being said, I've gotten the most satisfaction out of my 55g Topre purchases. Although the FC660C is creeping up there, as it's currently my daily driver. In the Cherry world, browns are/were my winner, although that might change when my ErgoDox and GH60 get put together as both use Clears, which are a little bit more Topre-like.

Every time I see threads like this, I just think of 'Mac vs PC'. Typically ridiculous arguments being made. Switches are all about personal preference

+1 to spamfry for his insightful post.

Honestly I was hesitating to leave a damning remark to the op and let the forum just ignore this... but if it's gonna be a party?

But if you see me and my brown/red loving friends flashing Cherry MX red gang signs, you better keep walking.

I am very satisfied with Topre and Cherry MX but I still need to try some ALPs and buckling springs to be sure about it and form my own opinions on them.
