My local buynothing page has a lot of keyboards. There was a mechanical one the other day, but I didn't win the draw

Late to this, but you can't call tactiles "brown" anymore; ever since Cherry's patent expired some 10 years ago the market has exploded. Right now I'm typing on a franken tester board with some 30 tactiles of different make and model, and I barely have scratched 20% of the tactile switches available on the market, by my estimation.

Tell me about it. It's harder to shop now for silent tactile...

Technically, it's easier, because there were 0 in the past. :P But yes, the variety of choice is dazzling!
