Hello there! Thought I’d kick this community off with a question.

Which keyboard(s) are you currently using?

Myself, I like to rotate, but the one I’m using right at the moment is an Akko 3068 with Akko CS Jelly Purple switches. I got it as it was available locally and supports hotswap. However, I’ve fallen in love with the included switches. They have a very pronounced tactility and feel very smooth.

    Keychron Q8, which has an Alice layout. I like the layout; it feels pretty familiar since my two previous daily drivers were ortholinear. I switch between the Alice and ortholinear keyboards often, too.

    I think I’m not crazy about the switches, though. I got it with Gateron G Pro Reds, which are linear, pre-lubed, and maybe just a little too light for my taste. It’s my first and only keyboard with linear switches, and I bottom out too hard on each keystroke. It’s a little uncomfortable on the fingertips after a while. I’m trying to adjust how much pressure I use when typing, which is a hard habit to change.

      I had the same experience bottoming out with linears. Mine were K-Pro reds, which are fine switches otherwise, but I’m more comfortable with browns. On the plus side they let me type quietly when needed so I’m thinking of trying them in a mobile/tablet/travel keyboard – maybe an Ajazz K620T.
