Just wondering.

I’m wondering which one to get for myself.

Thanks!

    Personally I like mechanical keyboards more just because of the tactile feeling of the keys and I like the clicky noises, also they tend to feel more robust. Pro-tip: get a 3/4ths keyboard instead of a full one, it saves you some cash and desk space. The ones I’ve tried are Keychron A2 and my current HyperX Alloy (I loved my Keychron one until I accidentally spilled orange juice on it and killed it). My current one works fine and I have no real qualms with it other than that the key mapping is really unintuitive if you use a Linux based system, but that seems to be true for most keyboards tbh. They both cost around 70 euro, so make of that what you will. If you decide on a mechanical keyboard be mindful of the switches in it, as they are optimised for different types of usage (like gaming or long-form and frequent writing). Also be aware that switch quality is brand dependant so you need to do a little research of you want to be sure they are up to snuff.
