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

    I have Box Navies in a DIY aluminum sandwich board that’s about the size of a TKL, and before that they were in an FL-Esports FL980, which is an 1800 style, so very nearly full size. I’ve heard the Jades are ever so lightly louder, but I like heavy switches, so the Navies are perfect. They’re very snappy, and in the DIY board bottom out is almost rumbly if I don’t use a deskmat. It has been decades since I used buckling spring, but I find the Navies come closer to my memory than any other switches I’ve tried (though still not the same). I prefer them to Box White, Gateron Green, Outemu Green, KS-3 Gateron Blue, or various commodity blues I’ve tried.

        “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.
