How to Make A Keyboard Enthusiast?
Hello! I saw this keyboard in the morning email today (https://drop.com/buy/nym-84-aluminum-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=linkshare&referer=Z2JXCA) and I am aware of the three Drop branded keyboards, and I just have to ask: What makes these special?
As someone who only uses Apple-bundled keyboards, a $10 Rosewill keyboard, and touchscreen keyboards, what experience do enthusiast grade keyboards offer over “merely functional” keyboards?
I imagine there’s some value to it. I’m aware of the popular Cherry MX switches (Brown are quieter, Blue are louder... and Red are also louder? Clear are good for LEDs I guess?) and that there’s many other companies (OUTEMU?) and in-house designs (like Razer) making different mechanical switches, and that they offer a more crisp “click” at the tip of your finger than the plastic bubble of a membrane keyboard. I also get that something colorful, whether by LED or colored keycaps, can bring aesthetic enjoyment and make the desktop have a certain...

I'm relatively new to mech keys and massdrop altogether. But I'm a gamer, and at the moment I have to play on a really poor dell keyboard that I found lying around. I've had my eye on a mechanical keyboard for a while because I've felt how great they are to type on and how responsive they are for gaming. I would really be interested in buying a keyboard around this calibre, and was wondering if anyone else would be interested in getting a keyboard like the one in the title, so that maybe we can get a price drop. This keyboard in particular is great because it has a lot of macro keys which is really useful for me in gaming, and I think others will also find them useful.
Thanks,

P.S. I like the reds but I also like the blues so I don't mind whichever one the community wants if a talks of a drop are in the air.
