And coming from the age of typewriters, many people expected a solid and mechanical experience. Something that could be achieved by the sheer revenue these early systems (mostly IBM and their compatibles and early Macintoshes) could pull in and be used for R&D, better material, etc. In short, as Chyros in one of his vidos (maybe the Model F round-up?) in fact explained, the good vintage keyboards come from the age where serious business computers were built to last forever. , 18:50I'm also surprised about the fact that A lot of Vintage keyboards are a lot better, all you see today is mostly cherry MX really. if you want mx based, the ones above are the best ones on the market.

all off them are vintage, so if you could find them, go for whatever he lists over the kailh switches that I just listed. if you want good clicky, go for kailh box white/jade/navy/pink for mx based, and for everything else, look at chryossran22's video about the best clicky switches. the one at target (the one with clicky optical) was noticeably smoother then the contact based ones, but the tactility was very similar. unless you wanna have an apple m0110 laying around just to feel the tactility of the clicky tournament edition, I wouldn't go for it. I had to type on heavy linear's before hand (alps skcc cream gang) just to be able to feel the bump when typing at speed. as far as I could tell, the tactility was very subdued. also I have a friend who bought a tournament addition a while back, and it came with razer green. I have tried a board with them, but not because I went and bought one or something, but they actually did a thing at my local target where you could try razer purple optical switches.
