So, I'm still very new to the mech scene, I first got my first taste with a Ducky Shine 4 in April of last year with Cherry Blues on it. I absolutely loved it, and while I have it sent in for a repair (my fault), I picked up a Ganss G.S-87 with Cherry browns. It's also pretty stellar, after installing some nice dye-sub Ducky PBTs instead of the paper-thin ABS it came with.
I don't NEED anything else keyboard-wise, but I want to try all the things now.... I love the sound and tactility of blues, but a higher actuation force sounds nice, too. So I was looking at Cherry Green as well as Cherry Clear in parallel to the browns. I'm not sure I want to venture into territory 'similar' to Cherry (Kailh, Gateron, Alps, etc.) at all right now, though.
Also, I have yet to ever try a Topre, and I know I don't deserve it (probably) out of the gate, but I was considering going for an HHKB, I'm very drawn to the sound and (perceived) feel of the Topres, it seems to be one of the furthest things from what I am using now. I may get hate for it, but I really enjoy the sound of the Type-S HHKB. I also like the look of the Realforce line.
I've used a Model M when I was younger, and did remember liking it alot, but I think I'm shelving the idea of a Unicomp or something for the time being. (Anything with Buckling Springs)
But, with all this information (and maybe you want to convince me of a switch I dismissed!), what should I opt into next? I'm heavily leaning towards a Topre board, ( and potentially topre clones? Like the Royal kludge RC-930, but I am told it's nothing like the real thing). Anyway, please give me some suggestions. Thanks.
