Yes to all questions. Such is the nature of this hobby. Lol.
your hobby ?
As for me , i just wanted a keyboard with better key press compare to rubber dome.If I measure the force , I need about 65-70 grams actuation force to press since having a bump below.It doesn't force down and register until i bottom out 65-70 grams.I guess you guys know what i mean by rubber dome.It's tiring to type for hours.
Keyboard type :
After reading a few page of the thread , i found there are a lot of key switch
https://keybumps.com/switch-list.htmlWithout actual trying everyone of them , just by browsing at youtube video , it's hardly able to choose which one is suitable for my liking.
niakulah when you first buy a mechanical keyboard , which one did you choose and the reason ? or did you try and test with other type of keyboard before choosing ?

if you're just interested in getting a full-size commercial prebuilt with relatively good build qualities, you can look for options by brands such as ikbc, ducky, durgod, filco, varmilo, and leopold.
a mechanical keyboard is still a keyboard. it's just that for mechanical keyboards, there are rich options for users to tune it according to own preferences. if you intended to do this, there are better options for you to get started, instead of prebuilts.
about cherry mx brown are good for typing, it's just marketing. it's like them telling us that cherry mx speed silver is good for gaming.
there are users who use ortho at mymkb,

MelGeek MCR Horseman is at the shipping stage now. they are the first of the MCR profile.
At the current covid condition , not much seller willing to open a keyboard display to let you touch and type and with social distance.It'd be hard to actually choose one.So i just browse some youtube saying mx switch are easy and like a standard.Blue is not suitable at office due to clicky noise.I had never tried black , red and brown and all base on video recommendation.
Looking at
https://www.pcgamer.com/best-mechanical-switches-for-gaming/ 
is completely different without trying.

I prefer full size since i need numberpad for excel.Never had a chance testing those brand you mention.
Actually , how large of different between brand with same switch pre build?
All of the brand you mention , ikbc is cheapest but i do not know how to choose between build quality.There isn't much choice with tight budget.How do you think about other Kailh , Gaote , Outemu ? vs mx ? Saw some expensive keys like logitech or razer but this thread mostly are customize build.
As beginner who didn't try any mechanical keyboard first-hand experience, which one do you suggest for beginner ?
Design : Full size prebuild similar to dell or hp office keyboard
Usage : Typing document maybe light gaming for wasd key.
Typing style : Either way , already use to membrane key pressing bottom down , so actuation point and distance isn't that important.
Durability : Document or email letter typing.Those dell or hp is quite a good keyboard which even last until today even on heavy usage typist.
Sound : Still searching at youtube but most of them having different sound even on same key switch and brand due to audio recording quality.Any suggestion on which youtube channel user for sound and key switch ? there are too many on mechanical key channel at youtube , not sure which one is overall better putting aside linus.
Current budget range rm350, i think i can only get ikbc but i hope to tested out every of them.Btw , logitech G613 wireless using Romer-G tactile switches , how do you think compare to those brand you mention before for typing experience ?
