THE DETAIL
Cut a keyboard through the middle and the argument settles itself. Sound and feel come from the stack — how the plate is held, what sits in the cavity under the board, and how heavy the case around it is. The switch is one layer of five, and it is the only one anybody talks about.

FROM THE CURATOR
The internet will sell you a group buy with an eleven-month lead time before it sells you a sixty-pound hot-swap board you can put switches into tonight. Buy the boring one. Change the switches twice. By the time you actually know what you like you will have spent less than one keycap set, and you will be right rather than hopeful.
