I use a keyball61 as i wanted a split keyboard (hands at shoulder distance) with integrated trackball (always keep hands at same position) Using it with box jades currently, as i want very strong and clicky keys. Was used to a dell at101w with black alps before, and wanted something similar. Will probably switch to a silent alternative in the future, when I stop working remote-only

I’ve had an ETROBOT backlit keyboard for years, was a Christmas present a long time ago. Has blue switches. Love it. Don’t know if you can buy them any more, probably some random Chinese brand.

Very clicky, not sure if I recommend blue for a shared office, bit WFH and you’re fine.

Honestly it really depends what you are mostly doing with the keyboard. If you are planning on writing a lot, people usually lean toward tactile switches. It has a little bump on the click which feels quite nice. Strict gaming usually go linear since its faster to trigger. Then there is the weight. Lighter weight for faster pushing, higher weight for really knowing you are pushing the key.

My preference is a medium weight tactile switch, preferably silent. I thought the heavy switched were too much for my taste. Light didn’t have enough resistance.

ZSA Voyager, it’s the best keyboard I’ve ever tried and/or owned. The ergonomic comfort is amazing to me. Lots of easy but powerful customizability as well. Using the softest switches that it comes with, as well as those Shhhhock rings or whatever, for even more silence. I have the black edition.

Membrane because I’m poor

IBM Model M; there’s nothing better than buckling springs when it comes to tactility (and noise).

Those Keychron keyboards do look pretty neat, though.

I use the one my dad uses

Remind me to tell you when I’m at home I’ll know then

My Keychron Q6 HE 8K just arrived, it has the “Keychron Ultra-fast Lime Magnetic Switch”, feels like regular MX reds, maybe a little softer. Was using a Logitech g815 with red switches, not much difference as far as switches go, sound absorption and key stabilizers are much much better on the Keychron.

At work using a Keychron K5 with Gateron low profile brown switches (might the same as yours), they are nice for typing with the tactile feedback although I prefer the longer key travel. I would say tactile feedback is better for typing but I also enjoy typing on linear switches thus Q6 HE purchase.

I haven’t noticed much of a difference in typing quality between switches. Key travel, sound damping and better key stabilizers were more of an overall improvement in typing experience to me.

Kemove K87 with Red switches and o-rings at work. Keeps noise down and the tenkeyless layout is a nice compromise between desk space and functionality. Might switch it out for an ikbc tenkeyless with Cherry MX Silent Red switches that I got for cheap once. That I purchased to see if something without o-rings would feel better, but I’ll have to fix a couple broken switches first.

At home, a no-name tenkeyless with blue switches because that was what was on discount and I didn’t mind the clicking. Before that, I used a Monoprice full-size with brown switches and o-rings to keep the loud pinging down. Miss the feel of the brown switches, but not how much space it took on my desk.

I originally worried that my typing accuracy would suffer on the reds due to the lack of tactile bump, but I’m growing to prefer it since I don’t find myself making more typos, while the low actuation force makes long typing sessions more comfortable. Haven’t looked at more niche low-profile, etc. options though, can’t quite convince myself to drop more than $50 on a keyboard.
