been using cheapo mech keyboard my whole life.. then upgraded to tecware  (red switch) then ducky one (blue switch).. gave both of them away.. now unsure to just stick with budget (RK71) or do better and consider leopold/filco etc.. sigh

If you don't mind doing some research and waiting for shipping, you can source parts from aliexpress and make your own budget custom board. Or you could mod prebuilts like I do biggrin.gif

I only have a bunch of Cherry MX Black and Clear switches XD

I desoldered them from my Ducky Mecha Mini and Kul Es-87 and put in Gateron Yellows. Sooo smooth, and after filming and lubing with Krytox they sound amazing. Swapped the terrible stabilizers with genuine cherry ones and they don’t rattle anymore.
