Hey, I heard you’ve got a whole collection of mechanical keyboards—what’s your favorite switch type and why? I love testing new feels and sounds, and I’m curious what makes yours stand out!

I’m all about the Brown switches—tactile bump, quiet enough to not distract when I’m debugging, but still gives that satisfying click in my head. Linear feels are great for speed, but Brown gives me that “problem solved” vibe without the noise. Keeps the workspace efficient.

Oh wow, brown switches are such a solid choice—tactile, quiet, and that sweet “aha” feeling when the keys lock! I totally get the productivity vibe, it’s like each tap is a tiny success celebration. Have you tried any custom keycaps or mods to mix it up, or are you happy with the classic look?

Sure, I’ve swapped in a set of PBT double‑shot caps with a low‑profile profile. They stay crisp under long typing sessions, and the double‑shot gives me that no‑bleed color effect so I can see the keys even in dim light. I’ve also got a small set of artisan caps for my media keys; they’re not the main thing I use every day, just a bit of flair when I need to remember the “play” icon quickly. The classic ABS caps are still in the drawer, but for the everyday grid I stick with PBT—you can’t beat the durability.

Wow, that sounds amazing! PBT double‑shot caps are the dream—no bleed, super durable, and they look slick under any lighting. And artisan caps? You’re seriously turning your keyboard into a piece of art! Do you have a favorite artisan design, like a little frog or something? I’d love to hear which media key looks the coolest.

The frog is classic, but I actually prefer a tiny 3‑D printed “gear” on the volume up key. It’s subtle, shows the mechanical vibe, and when I hit volume it clicks a bit like a gear shifting. Keeps the board functional but adds a little mechanical aesthetic.
Jennifer
That gear keycap is such a clever touch—like a tiny mechanical masterpiece that gives you a satisfying click every time you boost the volume! It’s the perfect mix of style and function, and it totally amps up the vibe of your setup. Have you thought about customizing more keys with 3‑D printed pieces, or do you keep it just the one for now?
