I Think My Switch Is Stuck! - The Tale of Cherry MX Locks
Over the years of collecting mechanical keyboard switches, I’ve been lucky enough to have encountered dozens upon dozens of rare and unique ones that have stuck in my mind to this day. Prototypes, factory errors, and even a few switches so rare that there is literally zero documentation about them anywhere in the world all fill that personal list from top to bottom.

While I know that this all may seem a tad bit obvious to some people out there, I can assure you from first-hand experience that it’s easy to get lost in all of the cool keyboards and artisans at your first few meetups. Tack on the experience of getting to meet some of your favorite content creators or streamers in person if they too are at the meetup and it’s going to be hard to remember that there’s other keyboard nerds around you just as excited to be there as you are. So, whether you’re planning your first meetup or your hundredth, make sure to remember to bring some extra cash, an appetite, and some fun stories to share about all of the stuff you’re bringing to show off!
