 A lot of people start with browns... but something funny happens, after about six months they don't feel "clicky" enough as your fingers get used to the force. I see a lot of people end up with Boba u4T or something with a force range of 42-62g 
 wait, what the hell does force range mean 
 it's a deep rabbit hole but each switch type has an activation force. How hard you have to press to push the key down.

At first the low force ones feel nice because people are used to typing on mushy laptop keebs. As you use mechanicals more I see people like a bit more push  
 hmm, excited to see that

how much would a swap like that cost? 
 Make sure the board you buy is hot swappable. Means you can just pull switches in and out.

The switch packs can run anywhere from $20 to $200+ dollars. 

This is a solid set for a bit over 20. I personally like gazzews u4ts

 Pretty much the price of a set of new switches. A hot-swappable keyboard would let you change out the keys easily, otherwise you'd need to solder them off/on
