Oddbean new post about login | logout everybody seems to be huge fans of the brown switches, excited to try them out
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 Akko V3 Cream Blue Pro Keyboard switch https://a.co/d/6M0RhfH

Good, casual few podcast episodes on switches and their types https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/keyswitches
I'm a clear/white switch maxi. Clears are better browns and whites are better blues.
