Mechanical Keyboard Talk

[TK]

So I would say I'm pretty into mechanical keyboards, owning 7 myself; Each of them are custom and lubed and have their own keycap set and what not. I very much enjoy making them and I think typing on a lubed keyboard feels almost as good as going from a membrane to a mech.

Are there people in this market interested enough to buy relatively premium keyboards with prices ranging from like $300-$800? Just want to know.

Would anyone know a mechanical switch that would fit the criteria below, or should I keep the MX Blues which I find pretty solid?

• I like clicky, tactile keys.
• I don't worry about weight, as long as it's not lighter than MX Reds.
  
• Noise doesn't matter at all. I don't film videos nor live with people that care.
• Very reliable. I don't want to replace them for 6 years (my average time of keeping a keyboard) - the longer the timespan the better. My hobby is programming so they've gotta last.

Cheers. By the way, this is a cool thread! Thanks for starting it.

As I've said earlier, white and jade box switches are something to look into. They are factory lubed and they are super stable because of how they're built which makes for a satisfying typing experience
