I’ve bought three mechanical keyboards recently, and my favorite so far is the Keychron K8 with Gateron brown switches. It took me some time to get used to the switches, but I think they’re pretty good. That doesn’t mean I won’t experiment with others. I really want to try different Cherry switches as well as custom keycaps.
The only thing I don’t like about the K8 is its closed‑source firmware. But it looks like Keychron will start selling an open‑source K8 pretty soon.
I don’t think I’ll buy it, because I’m more or less happy with the current model, and I can probably flash some open‑source firmware on it anyway.
