I have a keychron V6 (it’s full size). Solid plastic housing, baby kangaroo switches and KSA caps (these are close to MT3 and SA if anyone is wondering). I like the keyboard so far, but it’s not loud enough for me. I like loud and clicky. My question is, does anyone here use a keychron V6/k10/Q6 or any full size with SA/MT3/KSA and kailh box navy switches? If so, how is it? Is it loud? Also, is it heavy since I read that these switches are 90 gm bottom out. Are the jade better?Baby kangaroo are 67 gm bottom out. I mostly code, not much gaming. I’d appreciate any input. Thank you

    Nice. Do you type a lot? If so, do they ever get tiring? I have baby kangaroo switches and they’re kind of heavy (59gm actuation and 67gm bottom out) and they feel very light to me. Wondering if the navies are tiring. Appreciate your input. I, too, am a huge fan of the buckling springs myself. I used to type on them back in the day in college and they were fearce.

      “A lot” is always relative, I guess. I feel like I type a fair bit, and I do some gaming, and I can say I’ve never got tired, though to be honest I’ve never tried a commercially available keyboard or component that was enough to make me tired. I’ve noticed the extra effort after using something lighter for a while, but I quickly readjust and heavier just feels more natural. To the extent I use them, I prefer my linears and tactiles to be heavier as well.

      The potentially big caveat is that I don’t properly touch type, and even composing from scratch I top out at about 70 wpm.

        I see. I really appreciate the honest replies. I’ll be trying them sometime in the near future.
