HOW TO CHOOSE MECHANICAL KEYBOARDS by Dang Khoa

0. VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT BUY FROM GAMING BRANDS like Corsair, Razer, Logitech, etc. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE KEYBOARDS. 

1. Keycaps material: the best type is PBT (ABS caps are usually trash that comes in stock). PBT is durable and beautiful but can be very expensive when you buy separate keycap set.

2. Hot-swap: I recommend you get a keyboard with this feature. It gives you the ability to change switches instantly like lego without crazy soldering. Switches don't last forever, remember that.

3. Switches: there are 3 types: clicky, tactile, linear. I always recommend going linear (red) because it's timeless. You cannot go to the workplace with clicky switches (blue) because it annoys everyone. Going tactile means you're a pussy.
