Recommendations for some new switches? Looking for something tactile and creamy with as strong an actuation force as I can get. (sh.itjust.works)

Sorry I am a linear guy, NovelKey Creams are king. But maybe some Pandas would suit your taste.

I’ve got these and I’ve not yet had better switches. Also I’ve build only 5 keyboards mind you

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only!

It might seem like a lot, but that also means that I’ve tried only 6 sets of switches. (I’ve one extra set)

So you don’t buy new switches and then swap them out and try different key caps on the same boards just for fun like I do? Am I alone in this?

[–] HangingFruit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not really. When I want to try something new I just build new keyboard lol.

And you’re absolutely not alone in this

if you want really high actuation force then you should look into spring swapping with some heavy springs (85g or more imo).
