i knew it had gotten bad when i was concerned about whether the transparent, rgb friendly cherry material was changing the key action. now i just buy leopold. i don't understand how they make the same switches feel so much better
I haven't bought a Leopold but when I transitioned away from Cherry switches several years ago I couldn't help but notice how rough they felt. It's a changing moment. Been mostly loyal to Kailh switches when they stopped being just a cheap Cherry clone. Their BOX switches are awesome. Gateron also do incredibly smooth switches. This is my future target as I've gotten into linears recently.
i have a cherry blue leopold that's maddeningly better than any other cherry blue keyboard, except it's on a mac so the right modifier keys don't even work. i've typed on a lot of things. if you have the cash and haven't tried topre you need one of those
Some of our project members use Keychron. They're excellent. I am eyeing their Q3 Pro Special Edition myself as something I might be interested in.

Yea I 3d printed it. Built it myself it's pretty straightforward. You just need a couple cheap control boards, wire and switches. I like them a lot, split keyboards are super comfy
