It felt right to break in my new classic beige with some Doom.

For the curious, this is the Ducky Origin Vintage.

Only thing missing is a CRT to make that warm staticky smell. Looks fantastic though
That's Hot. I would switch if they had a buckling spring version I love the low profile.
- Somebody a few years ago was trying to cram a buckling spring mechanism into a Cherry MX footprint, but AFAIK it never went anywhere, and even the Asian market "Alps Buckling Spring" modules still actuated a membrane.
  For actual buckling spring feel, people will recommend heavier Kailh Box clickies, but while they're some of my favorite switches and generally recommend them to people who don't need to worry about sound levels, they don't feel like buckling springs to me but rather their own thing. I have some really cheapo "Outemu Dustproof Green" that I like quite a bit, actually, and feel a bit more like buckling springs, though I know we're not supposed to like click-jacket MX switches. Nothing sounds like buckling springs though, not by a long shot.
  
  What's a buckling spring?
  
  Yeah I just have to stick with my Unicomp Keyboard you are right nothing feels quite the same and even then my old Model M feels better than my Unicomp even though they use the same molds
Very nice! Tempted to grab one, as I prefer 100% and this looks great. How does it sound and perform compared to something like a Keychron Q6?
- I’m using it in an actual office, so I got the silent red switches, and its the quietest mechanical keyboard I’ve ever used. I’m not sure how it compares to the Keychron Q6.
  
  That’s the same switches I’m thinking of getting as well. Thanks for the feedback!
