I am relatively new in custom keyboard hobby… although I’ve been using a mechanical keyboard, Redragon Devarajas K556 w/ Outemu brown, for years, it’s just this year that I’ve tried other layouts, mods, other switches, and custom keyboards. I got a 60%, 75%, and an 60% alice layout. Thocc and/or creamy sound was my goal. I’ve tried Gateron Cap V2 Golden, but switched back to tactile as I’m more comfortable with the feel so I got Aflion Shadow Inks and Aflion Carrots. Tactile but still thoccy.
After a while, out of necessity, I need a quitter keyboard (just like outemu brown which is kinda quiet). I got some Outemu Silent Lemon as one of the cheapest option. Tactile and quiet. I mostly use my keyboards in gaming. I don’t really do typing, except for some typing exercises just to enjoy the keyboard. My actual typing usage is while chatting with someone.

Now for the confession part. I love this better than my thoccy builds. It still gives a tactile feels, but it is soft, and very light which does not strain my fingers.

My end game is a silent tactile, 75% w/ volume knob, tri-mode wireless keyboard! Practical, functional, and easy on my hands.

    Outemu Silent Lemons are great! I used them for my soldered Cypher R3 build, and felt weird permanently installing such cheap switches on such an expensive board, but they’re just great!
