This is how it sounds like when I'm working on my assignments. Once you get a mechanical keyboard, you'll never ever go back.
If you spend hours upon hours of time at your desk, get yourself a mechanical keyboard. I am using the GK61 with blue clicky switches.
There are three types of mechanical switches. Let me explain.
Pick up a pen or mechanical pencil. When you click on it, you get some feedback -
a tactile bump. Tactile and clicky switches are like pens/mechanical pencils. There's a bump when you bottom out.
The main difference between a clicky
and tactile switch is the sound. My keyboard is using blue clicky switches so I get the tactile bump but it is a loud keyboard.
Linear switches have no bump at all.
You press the letter on the keyboard, no bump. No feedback.
Gamers usually use linear switches and people who type usually go for tactile switches.
Maniacs go for the
clicky ones...
Over the last 2 years, I've been working on perfecting my desk setup. I tried to optimize it for work and play. Below, I've made a list of items that make up my desk setup.
- Laptop: MSI Stealth 14 (i7 13620h, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 4060)
- Monitor: LG GN800B (1440p, 144hz, 1ms, 27")
- Headphones: Sony XM4
- Mic: Fifine AM8
- Speakers: Creative Pebble V3
- Keyboard: GK61 (Blue switches)
- Mouse: Glorious Model O Wireless
- Desk: Vivo 1W6W (60x24)
- Chair: IDK
- Tablet: Samsung Galaxy S9 FE (8 GB RAM/256 GB Storage variant)
- USB Hub: Lionwei 13 in 1 Adapter
As you can probably tell from the 1st paragraph, I love keyboards, and I wish to have a huge collection of them.
So far, my collection consists of 5 keyboards but I want more.
Below is a short list of the collection:
- GK61 (Gateron Blue Switches (Clicky))
- Royal Kludge RK68 (Gateron Brown Switches(Tactile))
- Epomaker x Aula F65(Reaper Switches(Linear))
- Womier K66 (Brown Switches(Tactile))
- Kemove K98SE (Blue Switches(Clicky))
I'll probably get one or 2 more retail keyboards because there are a few that have caught my attention.
There are levels to the keyboard hobby. The average person starts off with a basic office keyboard, then evolves to mechanical keyboards. The final evolution/final form of the keyboard hobby
is when you sit down and create your own custom keyboard.
I have yet to build a custom keyboard so I have yet to reach true enlightenment.
Below is one of the 1st custom mechanical keyboard sound tests that I ever listened to. This is one of the more popular videos in the keyboard community.
If you're ever board and in need of a hobby, join the custom keyboard community. You are welcome anytime.
Below is my Pinterest
keyboard inspo-board. Have a look for yourself.
I hope this page was able to teach you a little more about me and what my interests are.
