My first hot-swappable keyboard: the K2 Pro

I just got a Keychron K2 Pro and I'm very much enjoying it. The OSA profile keys with the brown switches are a massive improvement over the cheapo 2nd-hand membrane keyboard with the flat keys I was using before.

Even though I absolutely love the brown switches it came with, I'm excited to hot swap them out to try different switches, and see what they're like.

I'm intrigued by the Cherry Clears:

Or maybe the Kailh Polia switches:

Any other tactile switch recommendations?

The Gazzew U4T have been recommended quite some. I like using it. It's a quite remarked bump over e.g. Cherry browns.

I got a single Akko Lavender Purple which I also like the feel of. Also quite crisp bump. But I only have the one, so I don't know how they are to type in.

Thanks for the recommendations, I would also like to try both of those. I'll keep them in mind.

C³Equalz Kiwi are what I've bought this time around. Been using gateron browns for a little over a year and they are also great.

Are the C³Equalz Kiwi switches clicky?

Kiwis are tactiles.

Cheap huge bump tactile represent here: Jwick or JWK T1s. Might have to spend more to get the smoke grey version which has a transparent housing if you want the backlight to shine through.
