wait, what the hell does force range mean
Discussion
it's a deep rabbit hole but each switch type has an activation force. How hard you have to press to push the key down.
At first the low force ones feel nice because people are used to typing on mushy laptop keebs. As you use mechanicals more I see people like a bit more push
hmm, excited to see that
how much would a swap like that cost?
Make sure the board you buy is hot swappable. Means you can just pull switches in and out.
The switch packs can run anywhere from $20 to $200+ dollars.
This is a solid set for a bit over 20. I personally like gazzews u4ts
Akko V3 Cream Blue Pro Keyboard switch
Pretty much the price of a set of new switches. A hot-swappable keyboard would let you change out the keys easily, otherwise you'd need to solder them off/on
Good, casual few podcast episodes on switches and their types
