Sucks, because otherwise, I think the switches feel really nice. Still, though, nothing beats a Model F, although I haven’t used a beamspring, so maybe one of those with a solenoid.
minus-squarezod000@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoWhile I mostly agree with the Model F statement (I own four for a reason), I think that a clean set of SKCM Blue Alps are probably the next best clicky switch. I’d pick it over a Model M any day.
