The ones that feel satisfying when I break them out of frustration.
Keychron
I use a ducky!
Never heard of this brand until now but just bought one cause I like the brand name lmao
They're really well made. Mine is full metal and I've shipped it with me now to multiple countries as I've moved no problem! Thing is a tank.
For home office I have a Filco Majestouch Ninja 2 with Cherry MX Brown Switches. It's Japanese made and very durable (I've had it for 8+ years). The Brown switches are satisfying to type on but very loud, so wouldn't use it in the office.
If anyone has recommendations for a quieter keyboard for office use, would love to know.
I use the Keychron K5 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard with red switches. It's not super loud so fine for the office. A handful of us in the bullpen use it
True enthusiast. Filco is a great brand. I use a Leopold in MX Browns as well
Need recs for a quiet one now that I live with my gf lol
qk65 (boba u4t switches, osume tsukimi / gmk norse keycaps) + separate numpad that’s layered for fn keys
Nice. The only real enthusiast keyboard posted yet.
Using a crush 80 in my home office but thinking of getting something more quiet for the office.
the one I spend the least time using (modeling on)
I love Bloomberg keyboards
This is the only answer, got one for home one for the office
I’d go to a best buy or Microcenter or something, they usually have keyboards that you can try out. The big brands have a bunch of different types of keys (some clicky, some smooth, some loud or quiet) and buy a decent one that you like. You spend so much time with it, it makes sense to upgrade to something nice that you like
Yeah I’m about to start so trying to get the landscape
Das ultimate. Lefty mouses are a problem but keyboards are easy
At work I have a Corsair K70 with speed switches. Not my favorite to type on but it's relatively quiet and has held up very well over a few years of use.
At home I have a Logitech G915 with clicky switches. Just got this one the other week but the typing experience is much better. A bit loud for an office though.
I have an obnoxiously loud Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard and I love it. The tactile response is superb.
I love my Logitech MK270. I never got into the harsher keys of the mechanical keyboard. I just got the silent touch one for my home office as well and it's a nice upgrade. Similar feedback but way quieter if that's important to you.
The common trait among these comments is what colour switches you want. Ignore title
I’m referring to Cherry MX switches, so look for these in your keyboards dependant on what you want.
Red: Quiet, smooth press
Blue: Clicky, bumpy press
Brown: In between red and blue
Speed: Reduced distance required to actually recognise the key being pressed (imo a bad thing for ib when everyone lives in that twitchy-caffeinated state)
my favourites are browns they’re smooth to press but not too loud of a click

Keychron V6 with brown switches. tactile and satisfying but if you type hard like I do, you may need to be a little gentler to not annoy your colleagues. the wireless version would be dope but it's not necessary, just helps your layout look a little neater. absolute workhorse, and actually makes typing fun
Leopold FC660C / FC980M
Why it rocks:
Who it’s for:
Typing purists who want something classy and long-lasting with a classic layout.
