I love custom mechanical keyboards but is the wider community limiting itself by only sticking to MX switches? I know there are projects out there for custom topre, space invader, and alps. But with all the research the community has done, why hasn’t something truly unique come to market yet?
Using and reviving old switches is great but is there anyone working on making a new switch that isn’t affiliated with a large manufacturer like gateron or kailh?
The first switches I used were MX Blues. Then MX Browns. Then MX Black. Then I stopped using a mechanical keyboard because I hated all of them.
Since then I discovered the Model M with it’s Buckling Spring switches and Matias keyboards with their Alps clone switches.
I like mechanical keyboards again.
