Might as well help get this channel off to a flying start!

What's your favourite switch (key type) and why? What would you like to try but haven't yet and what have you tried but wasn't for you?

Kailh box jades and royals. Though I need to actually build another keyboard with much quieter switches because there are certain situations that require it.

I bought an "Ant" brand keyboard recently and it had Kailh Red switches.

I don't know if that actually represents Kailh quality, but I had the switches failing from day 2. The keyboard was not 6KRO Anti Ghosting and the backlight was not RGB, just multiple colours. That's when I realised, they were probably not going to return my money.

I having been hoping to get a Cherry MX 10.0N but they don't sell to my country and I don't feel like trusting jewellery sellers on Amazon, who have listed it for 2x the price.

So just looking to find LP Speed or other similar switches, and get a board printed, to use with QMK stuff.
