After trying out so many switches recommended for typists, I finally decided to stop listening to the internet and try out the switches meant for gaming. I'm so glad I did. I went for reds during this exploration at first, but found those to eventually fatigue my hands. These silvers are amazing in comparison. SO FAST. Yes, my accuracy is a little down, especially if I'm being a bit slopping with my typing. But I'll trade accuracy (and a little bit of time checking my work) over a future with carpal tunnel.
My hands feel so much better. I don't have wrist pain anymore. My fingers are no longer going numb. My pinky is functional again. Blues and browns were giving me carpal tunnel no matter what ergonomic changes I was making. I bought a chair, bought special seating pads, changed the height of everything, got different types of wrist pads, got compression gloves, though those have been useful as well.
Maybe it's because of autoimmune issues or neuropathy, but those popular, highly recommended hear-the-click-from-the-depths-of-hell switches truly did not work for me. I've still got a keyboard with blues for when I'm not working, but if you need a keyboard for intense, fast typing for hours on end, I'm not convinced blues or browns should definitively be the way to go.
Also, for anyone who just doesn't understand the "point" of mechanical keyboards or hasn't found a switch they like because they've been experiencing too much fatigue or pain, I'd recommend either A. being smart and getting a testing board with some speed switches to test out (I hear kailh's switches are next level) or B. being impulsive and getting a keyboard with some speed silvers because building your own keyboard sounds great but you haven't gone that far into the rabbit hole just yet.
So. This keyboard. As far as build, yeah, it's a great keyboard. It seems well-built for the price, doesn't take up a lot of space, it works exactly as it should and has some customization options, which is great. It'll also be great to travel with as well thanks to the size. This is my second 60% keyboard and I haven't needed any time to adjust, so it's pretty great straight out of the box (thank you for a full-size right shift key, that makes a huge difference). The last 60% keyboard I had was godawful and made me want to throw it in a vitamix to blend those mushy, useless browns to oblivion. This one has been easy and somehow more ergonomically supportive as well. I don't need a wrist pad with it.
Hope any of this helps.
