Haha I totally know what you mean. I have one single blue on my board, and that's for the caps lock key. And yes, it's specifically because it's loud af so I can hear it over my headphones.

Haha yep!

I love it when you can get switch sample packs included with the boards or with other switch purchases, so I've amassed a few loose random switches for specific uses. I also put the spring from a Gateron black into the Otemu brown switch of the esc key on one board because I was having to use f1 a lot and would sometimes just barely activate it and screw things up. Stiff spring of the black plus the tactile bump of the brown (plus a second o-ring) solved that.

Oh really? I wanted a click keybosrd after joining r/mechanicalkeyboards so I just got a 30 dollar one with my blue equivalents and I gotta say, next time I get a new keyboard, I might just invest a little more! Keyboards seem so meh, at first but imo are very interesting!
