I ended up buying an expensive mechanic keyboard because a coder I follow on YouTube had such a beautiful sounding keyboard whenever he typed, that I had to get something similar.

I'm not even going to try justifying the cost based efficiency or ergonomics or build quality, I simply love the sound of a well-produced mechanic keyboard.

Can you share the channel ? I'm curious I appreciate distinct keyboard sounds too :D

If you look at his channel, I was listening to his keyboard though via his C++ tutorials

It really depends what you want. If 80% of the way there is enough, or if you're more after key feel than sound, there are relatively cheap options, from cheap $40 outemu socket boards (that only fit outemu keys unless you wanna file off some thickness from other keys legs) to something like the GMMK barebone, over to a full kit like the NK65 Milkshake (which is INCREDEBLE value and runs for a few more days)

That mk sticker shock is no joke, part of the inspiration for this :)

Need to be able to select the switch type then :P

And simulate the sound.

Oh my.
