Hello there! Thought I'd kick this community off with a question.

Which keyboard(s) are you currently using?

Myself, I like to rotate, but the one I'm using right at the moment is an Akko 3068 with Akko CS Jelly Purple switches. I got it as it was available locally and supports hotswap. However, I've fallen in love with the included switches. They have a very pronounced tactility and feel very smooth.

I have two pre-builts from NuPhy right now, the Air96 and the Halo75.

A coworker showed me his Air75 and I was fairly impressed adn started researching... I had been somewhat interested in mechkeebs for a while already but didn't wish to fall into the rabbit hole of custom builds and group buys but didn't like the mass-market offerings such as Logitech's Mini Mech or the Rokkat Vulcan very much either.
Keychron seemed cool but the ones my coworker has all didn't call to me. But the two NuPhys are pretty neat for something that works out of the box!

I have since gotten a bunch of switches to play around with and replaced the keycaps... aaand only recently ordered an Odin 75 kit as my first custom.
Rabbit hole, here we go. :D

I wish it were programmable in VIA instead of NuPhy's software but otherwise their low profile boards look really good to me. I tried a Keychron K3 in the past but strongly dislike their keycaps, and their stabilizers make them incompatible with other brands.

The Odin looks really cool! That little screen should be fun to play with.
