I have a tactile pro mini with clicky switches and it was a revelation. It is the best feeling keyboard I have ever used and it converted me to the Alps cause. They feel and sound incredible and they shatter every cherry style switch out there. I do think the quality control is a bit shoddy, given the horror stories about chattering switches, and how mine has a shift key that binds a bit on off center key presses, but the other keys feel so awesome I don’t mind it.

The thing that is stopping me from building a custom keyboard is that alps style switches are so niche, and other people are after wet thocky sounds and not deep clicks. But if Matias steps it up with the quality control and really goes into the custom market with pcbs or something, I’m gonna build a board with alps switches!

I got a huntsman TKL for around $5 at a thrift store too! Pretty cool keyboard, but the actuation is way too dang high. Given how smooth the linear switch is, I kept making mistakes and hitting the g key on accident, wasting grenades in Wolfenstein.
