Hi! :)
My Cooler Master MK750 is starting to give problems, so I was considering whether to get a new keyboard or... desolder the switches and replace them. Problems like double letters should be caused by the switches, right? I'm not sure what role the PCB plays in these issues.
Anyway, I'm looking for tactile switches that are heavier than the Browns (which I currently have). I've seen Cherry Clears that interest me, but I’ve also looked at the Greys, though I'm worried they might be too heavy. I'm also not sure where to buy them (AliExpress? I live in Italy), or whether to go with Cherry or other brands that have made similar switches.
By the way, what's the minimum budget for a 100% or TKL custom hot-swap keyboard?
Thanks!
 
i went shopping for one myself and got the mk770 during the sales.

i also had brown switches and they were too light for me. i really like the white switches it came with. they are still not heavy enough for me, but you might like them. it's a really nice keyboard and hot swappable.
i already bought new much heavier switches to drop in but have not had the time yet.

seems $100 or so is the floor, though i have seen cheaper from some brands.

for instance saw this one at my local best buy.

basically get it knowing you'll need new switches. but the price is nice for a good keyboard from a well known brand.
