Ummmm so wow how have I never discovered this before??? This is the perfect place for me and it just so happens my keyboard died and I need a new one! I run a Mac and am not picky about Bluetooth or hardwired. Everything else you will have to explain it to me like I’ve 5 haha. Thanks I’m advance. Oh and I did read through the post from a bit ago about good budget keyboards and that was useful.

    They should mean the same thing: Different types of keyboard switches that affect the typing experience. RTings has a pretty extensive article about them (https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/learn/mechanical-switches) but you mainly need to know there are three kinds, the clicky ones, which make that nice noise with a bump as you press on them, tactile, which only has the bump, and linear, which has none of the above. Using which kind is a personal preference (I like my clickies), so you’ll need to figure out what you like. This is the part where you’ll need to invest in some time and money because there’s no way of figuring out what you like unless you try it for a period of time.

        Great, if you are, my advice is to go with Kailh’s Box clickies. They use a click bar which feels much better, and from my experienece so far won’t wear out as easily as the click jackets in other clicky switches.

          Great thank you! I’m trying to make out the difference between all the different series of Keychron, I know the Q is their top line but is there a quick way to decipher?
