Well, again, it’s all subjective. There’s no single keyboard that will sound good with anything - different combinations of switches, case and plate materials, foam, will all yield different results. From what I’ve tried - Akko’s mod 007pc and spr67 sound amazing with gateron inks and ws heavy tactiles, but I’ve also put Akko starfish switches in them and didn’t like the sound at all.
All right let’s swing the other direction!
For the discerning connoisseur the more refined switches will always be Alps and other more complicated assemblies.
Some of these are quite good. But most people are not willing to visit vintage boards. I have about 10x as many Alps/Topre/beamspring etc as MX style.
White and Orange Alps are not rare. Blue alps on the other hand… Scorpius dome with slider are quite common, and the IBM Model M is still sold to this very day brand new.
i like how the wooting 60he stock and hhkb stock sound. what’s an example of a “good” sounding keyboard?

I’ve always been partial to this one. Like rain drops on a roof…

too much lube and a high-pitched ping. kinda nauseating imo. thanks for the link though.

oh wow I definitely prefer how these vintage boards/switches sound, especially the alps 👀. i don’t think i want to know how much they cost.
