It might depend on how long someone’s been using mechanical keyboards? I’ve used a mechanical keyboard for years but I’ve been in this rabbit hole the last few months due to all the variety in switches and keycaps. In this rabbit hole phase I’m just slowing down to 2 times a week. My quieter keyboard is a Q5 and my louder keyboard is the K6 Pro.

I mix switches to minimize finger fatigue and I’m liking my current combo, but I have some new 10-pack switches and my first GMK keycap sets coming this week. I’m probably going to try them out on my K6 Pro and see which mix I like, and work on having the nerve to open up my first mechanical keyboard and replace the aluminum plate with FR4.
