What's your favorite switch

Nov 4, 201615906 VIEWS

whats your favorite switch to use overall mine is the cherry mx green (which im using to type this right now) but they are quite impractical being loud and harder to push down, but I love them none the less. But what's your favorite switch do you like the loud clicky or the smooth stealth, I dunno but I sure do want to :3

I use mostly budget switches but my favourite has to be lubed Kailh deep seas. They're silent and smooth and feel absolutely heavenly when lubed. The one drawback that they have is a slightly reduced travel distance but I feel like it helps me reduce fatigue? Uncommon 2nd choice but it's got to be lubed Kailh box whites. The lube takes away a little bit of the ping and rattle from the click and makes it a little quieter. It also makes the travel much smoother and more pleasant.

For the price, I like the Glorious Panda switches. They're knock-off Holy Pandas that are about 90% as good for less than half the price. Holy Pandas for me are the holy grail. For cheaper builds I like Zealios, and in my most recent build I'm giving Kailh Purple Pros a shot before I go with something more expensive. I really need to invest in a luring station lol.

My top switches are Topre, followed by Kailh Box Pink, Kailh Choc Jade, and Kailh Box Jade. I like tactile switches but can't stand the MX-type of tactility, where the activation point is far away from the tactile point. Zealios V2 switches have excellent tactility, but the offset between the tactile point and the activation point causes me to lift my finger before the activation of the switch, skipping characters.

TIE: Gateron yellow and Gateron silent black
UP AND COMING: Roselios (just got a Zealios tester and am loving the Roselios, though I haven't tried a whole keyboard setup yet.) In general I am a linear, heavy resistance kinda guy. I know the main use case for linears is gaming, but I do very little gaming and use linears for typing. I just have really heavy fingers and anything else kinda hurts to type on. So if you are like that, I recommend all of the above 3. Very grateful there is such an incredible variety of switches to satisfy needs of all kinds of users!

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?

I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".

ALT V2 not detected with Drop Keyboard Configurator

Hi, This is my first non-mac keyboard. I was under the impression that this would work out of box with with mac desktop however I am having issues getting the ALT V2 detected with the keyboard configurator software. The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you
