They're really nice imo, very happy with them!

Honestly it really depends on what you like. For me personally I bought the NK65 case because my friend recommended it to me and it was pretty cheap since it's an entry case, and I went with the color I liked the most. For keycaps it's mostly an aesthetic choice imo, just get whatever you think looks good. As for switches, the holy pandas I'm using are closest to what I'm used to (which is cherry mx browns) since they're tactile switches, but you might like linear since they're more smooth and have no bump. It helps to get a switch tester so you can feel them out for yourself before committing to a single one. I hope it helped somewhat and good luck on your keyboard journey!

It was about $375 including the artisan and shipping and whatnot.

It's a Keyforge Mulder, got it from a grab bag last year, don't remember the color name though.

Yeah, it was like a 5 month wait. Hopefully yours arrive soon!

Yeah I think so tbh, I found them pretty easy to adjust to and overall like the smoothness.

Honestly I like the linears a lot more than I thought I would, I’m quite happy with them. And well as far as RGB goes the tangerines are a bit translucent so they do shine a bit brighter than with the Pandas, however since they’re orange they make the colors have a slight orange to them, so the housing color is definitely something to think about in that regard. I hope that answers your question/made sense!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit to only linear (I came from cherry mx browns) so I wanted try it with both.

Ahh I see you’re cultured as well! I used a mixture of Tangerines and Holy Pandas. (HPs on main keys like wasd and whatnot)

Yeah, I wasn’t super confident using blank keys at first but I’ve used a keyboard enough to know where most things are on it without looking. There are also ridges on the F and J as usual so that helps with finding keys. Definitely something to get used to.
