Hello Everyone, it has indeed been too long. I have not been around the keyboard scene much but i have recently started to get back into it and boy have things moved on! I have myself a Keyhcron Q1 Max with geteron reds (since when did geteron make such nice switches ?) and i want to take advantage of the hot swap feature to have some fun with all the fancy pants modern switches i keep hearing the kids go on about. This is a fantastic board by the way, super quality case, keycaps etc and for the price! That is just mad.... " back in my day .......".

What i am looking for as always is for nice liner switches and with the insane number of options out there nowadays i am a little out of my depth. The gateron reds in the Q1 are .... fine but i am looking around to see if there is anything better something with a bit more weight to it but not in the range of MX Blacks, i would also want something nice and smooth , so pre lubed ( the gaterons feel lubed ).

So what is out there that is worth trying that is easy to get a hold of.

P.S dont worry i still have all my fancy vintage stuff and my beloved realforce and novatouch.
