Yeah dude, when I first got them I was surprised at how truly silent they are, and I’m a big fan of how heavily tactile they are. I recently picked up some Designer Studio White Jades since everyone I saw mention them said they were possibly the heaviest tactiles on the market, but honestly now that I have them I’d say the Shrimps almost beat them out for how strong/heavy they feel (although that could partially be due to the Shrimps having a long bump across the whole keystroke compared to the short/sharp bump of the White Jades). I thoroughly enjoy the White Jades for their sharp snappiness which is what I was really looking for this time around, but I’m glad I have the Shrimps around for a different kind of heavy tactile stroke.
If only Clickiez weren’t so stupid fuckin expensive, because I’ve also seen those mentioned as a possible candidate for being the heaviest tactile on the market when set up as tactiles. I’m just not willing to pay $1.50/switch, and even less so when I’d have to crack them open myself to actually set up the tactile configuration. Too much to ask for for keyboard switches lol.
Keychron definitely makes a solid keyboard! I typically use the knob for quick volume adjustments when I’m working on Mac; I don’t really use it much when I’m on my PC outside of work in the end.
It’s officially done! Keychron Q1, GMK Awaken, Durock Silent Shrimps, with the matching Awaken deskmat.
