Howdy and welcome! You joined at a good time. Bro Caps has got some big sales and exciting things coming up this month, there are group buys up for some very good SA sets, and a few interest checks are up on a variety of new keyboards.

Welcome to Geekhack!

What mechanical keyboard are you using?  Or have you joined to seek inspiration for your first one?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Reds and clears kinda opposite ends of the (non-clicky) spectrum.  Have you got a preference?  Most people gravitate towards lighter switches, or to heavier switches (I prefer heavier).

HHKB will be a completely different experience again ;)

They're both wonderful for different reasons. I like my reds for gaming and my clears for typing. I find I prefer heavier switches, my favorite switches of the cherry family are probably blacks. Typing on heavy switches is so nice, it's like the keyboard is helping you type.

I like heavy switches for gaming too - less likely to suddenly jump or leap sideways by accidentally resting my finger on a switch :))

Welcome to the community!

I own an HHKB and 45g feels great for programming/general writing. Had no issues gaming. It's a great keyboard.
