What keyboard are you using?

Just curious as to what keyboard are you guys using? If you're using mechanical keyboard, what switches? Brand, etc.
As for me, I'm just currently using the default keyboard of my Thinkpad T430 laptop, which is deemed to be inferior to its predecessor since it's a chiclet design keyboard. I'd love to get a mechanical keyboard with cherry MX or any clone. Probably a brown switch or something.
I'm using my laptop keyboard but I'm considering buying a mechanical keyboard that's under $100. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to hear! I'm considering the Keychron K1/K2, or possibly the Durgod Taurus k320. My only caveat is that the switches shouldn't be too loud like a Cherry blue.

I'm using a Leopold FC660c keyboard, modded with novatouch sliders and GMK Cyan keycaps and lubed with Krytox GPL205 g0 grease.
The keyboard has an programmable controller that also adds bluetooth.

I was typing after several keyboard, mechanical, for a year on a Magicforce 82 with Gateron Greens. Now I have build my first mechanical keyboard and my speed went up. It's a DZ60 PCB with Kailh Box Pale Blue switches and build in an aluminium case from KBDfans.
Next week I'll build my second mechanical keyboard. A GH60 with Kailh Box Pinks. I like the 60% formfactore because it is small and it's easy to configure for the 'missing' keys.

My laptop has a similar keyboard (Lenovo T460). My keyboard is a HyperX Alloy Origins with red linear switches (tried the brown tactile's but linears are better and faster IMHO), that are smooth and easy to type with, no fatigue at all.
It is noisy as any mech keyboard, but using o'rings it is much better.

I use a numpad but have mapped letters to number combinations to be able to type every letter.

I just got the ZSA Moonlander. My wpm dropped from about 110 down to 40 when I first got it. I've had it for a couple weeks and I'm back up around 80.

I go in between a Dell L100 when I am at work and a Drevo Blademaster TKL with stock Gateron Reds when I am at home. Though, my typing seems to be better on the Dell.

I use a Prime_E PCB and WorldSpawnKeeb's acrylic Alice-like case. Ends up being a 40-ish percent board. I've got TKC Banana Split switches (pre-lubed), smoky durock stabs (lubed with silicon grease), and TKC's Infinikey-produced Sugar Rush keycap set.
I type ok-ish (~130WPM), but this is my second account so it's more for typing out every single quote I come across rather than pressing escape if I make a mistake in the first sentence. My main account is hunterz1200 and I've got the specs listed of my previous board.

I use a very not-special generic keyboard from Acer, it costed like $10.00. Does the job!

I'm using a Redragon K552 Kumara with Outemu blue switches, it is meant for gaming, but I think it is surprisingly good for the budget price of about 40 dollars, and the clickiness of the blue switches is amazing!

Unicomp model M. Buckling springs.
They're pretty heavy and I type a bit faster on mx blue, but the buckling springs just feel so satisfying. I have a much older model M at work. Makes it sound like I work harder than everyone else :)

Skydigital Durgod K310 Corona. It uses Cherry MX Silent Red (a.k.a. pink) switch.

I use a Keychron K2 v2 with Gateron Reds. I find that I can get relatively close performance with standard chiclet laptop keyboards, however with a mechanical keyboard, especially with linear keys, I have longer, less fatiguing sessions.
You don't think that an extra few grams for key activation would matter, but it really does add up. I'm 26 and in good health so not an arthritic older gentleman or anything either lol

Im using my own custom made acrylic Alice layout keyboard with some alpacas modded with 65g springs. I actually type faster with this layout then I do with a normal keyboard layout.

I'm using my laptop keyboard but several keys are hard to press, should i buy a new keyboard? Will my typing speed increase if I buy a new keyboard, currently I'm stuck at 60-70 WPM. I have been practicing for 2 months, I don't see any difference in my typing speed only my accuracy improved.
