    I’ve been a Das Keyboard Professional guy, with Cherry MX Blues, for many years. While I have seen plenty of mechanical keyboards at the office and elsewhere, I feel pretty removed from thw whole scene.

    Where should I start to learn more about keycaps, switches, etc., hands on? Is there a good, full size starters keyboard anyone would recommend?

      Keychron has a lot of options including some with hot-swap sockets that let you change the switches without desoldering. If you like clicky switches I would try out Kailh BOX white/jade switches, or just order a switch tester or something.

        Even if you don’t buy a Keychron, and there are arguments for an against, the sheer variety they offer is a good primer for getting up to speed on what’s broadly available.
