Based on this video which reviewed a bunch of different ergonomic mechanical keyboards I kinda have my eyes set on the Glove80.

However my main gripe with looking at it, is that it only offers soldered switches (either pre-soldered or DIY).

This combined with the fact that there are no Cherry MX Speed like switches available for it (I have grown very accustomed to them on my Corsair K95 RGB Platinum) makes me question whether I’m willing to risk the near 400€ investment just to potentially end up with a keyboard whose switches are not too my liking.

And while I could probably resolder different switches onto it, I’d rather have a keyboard where changing switches doesn’t require me grabbing my soldering iron.

Looking around so far however, I haven’t found a keyboard similar in design to the Glove80 that does feature hot-swappable switches.

As such any recommendations would be welcome <3

    Kailh choc’s actuation point is only 1.3mm, which is really close to Cherry MX Speed’s (1.2mm).

    Of course the two categories concern very different switches, but isn’t this the main trait of speed switches (compared to other MX switches) ?
