> It’s all a matter of taste. I do dislike most ‘clicky’ cherry style switches (eg cherry blue) because the click feels sort of fake compared to buckling springs. There are a ton of new options out there most of which I haven’t tried though.

Yep! It's just personal preference. Same here! The clicky Cherry MX switches feel less solid than buckling springs. It even feels like I'm clicking a pen sometimes. 😂The only Cherry MX switch I like is the linear black switch. But I like both buckling springs (when I want feedback) and capacitive switches (when I want a laid-back cushiony feel) more than Cherry MX switches. BTW, plate mounted and PCB mounted switches also feel different.

I see, I certainly see where you are coming from. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any tastefully designed retro buckling springs keyboards at the moment. What about modern mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX switches? Actually, I'm not against membrane keyboards, either. It's just that most membrane keyboards on the market are low quality and all membrane keyboards got a bad name as a result. Also, the tactile feedback of the rubber domes degrade a lot after just 3 months of use. That said, the Fujitsu Libertouch is one of the best membrane keyboards I've tried.

Does it have to be a keyboard with buckling springs? I still have the 1994 IBM Model M with buckling spring switches as well as some older Cherry keyboards with mechanical switches such as the Cherry G80-9009. But nowadays I mostly use my RealForce keyboard with capacitive switches.
