    The funny thing about this video for me is that I went to the UK for 3 months, and I bought this keyboard thinking I would throw it away when I'm done working overseas. To my surprise, I actually loved this small keyboard 😂 I had a small area to work, and this keyboard saved my butt and never once failed me. I didn't have the heart to throw it away, so I made space to bring it back home with me, I still use it when needed. I didn't know I could further customize this keyboard, and this video is giving me ideas

      There may not be a “best,” but subjectively I’d go with a Keychron K3 with Gateron Red Switches on the hot swap PCB and some Krytox 205-G to lube them all with. Two layers of masking tape on the back of the PCB, bandaid mod the stabilizers, rubber o-rings under the key caps, and some Eva foam and poly fill for sound and vibration dampening in the bottom of the case. Replace keycaps last if you can afford it with some double-shot PBTs. Should feel like butter and be super solid and thocky. I did this with a K6 and it came out great.
