Hope all are alright. Anyone picked up any cool new hobbies lately? Anyone play harp? I’m thinking of picking it up, I already play quite a few instruments, but harp has the highest initial investment of any I’ve done so far.

    what’s your favorite switch? i’ve been recommended the holy pandas. i’m looking to switch from gateron g reds, because the spring weight is way too low.

      For me, personally, I’ve discovered I love Kailh Cremes. A gentle but full thock with mild tactility. Honestly, it really depends on what kind of typing experience you’re going for. You might like Cherry Blacks if you’re looking for a stiffer linear switch.

      Are Logitech switches actually bad, or people hates them just because they’re “not cherry”?

        Most switches in prebuilt keyboards are generally worse then custom switches, but it’s also completely preference. If you enjoy your Logitech switches, don’t worry about comparisons with something else.

        There’s a lot of other things that impact how keyboards sound/feel as well, like the material the case is made from and how much foam/dampening material is behind the PCB. When you factor in preference with all of that, it is generally pretty hard to say that the switches in particular are making the difference

      I haven’t gotten to try too many yet, but I like tactiles. I got some Akko lavender ones which I’ve been enjoying and some boba U4T’s for work which I also quite like. Other than those I’ve just tried mx browns and reds, The browns aren’t as nice as the others. I don’t mind the reds but I miss the tactile bump.

      Switches are all preference. You have to try out different styles to actually figure out what you prefer. Personally I like lighter lubed linears and I’m poor so Akko CS Wine Red are my choice.
