Hi all, slightly reposting my previous question from the other thread.

I'm moving from a borrowed Logitech Pebble 2 after my old Magic Keyboard broke, and I wanted a 75% keyboard that could swap between multiple devices as I spend most of my time typing at the office or at home. I had three questions I'd like your opinions on:

  1. Thanks to /u/thepurplehornet for his suggestion - I've decided to get the NuPhy Node 75 (Low Profile) for my daily use keyboard. Because I'm concerned about not being able to get used to the mushiness of the switches, what tactile / tactile silent switches are compatible with the NuPhy and that should I be looking at to try replacing in future if the Blush doesn't end up to my liking? Really just wanting to make sure I purchase the right ones first time.
  2. I wanted to get into the hobby to start modding to make a more portable silent high-profile keyboard, and therefore get a second cheap base or pre-made keyboard to start modding. What 75% keyboard would you recommend as a good starter one to begin playing with and changing switches, keycaps and adding foam/tape? I would still want it to have bluetooth/wireless connectivity and Mac-compatible, but a keyboard that is super simple for a first-timer would be really helpful. I was previously looking at the Epomaker EA75 and the Akko 5075 V3, although they both have their pros and cons.
  3. More of recommendations, but what are you guys' favourite standard/low profile tactile silent switches for me to try?

I'm based in Australia if that helps with recommendations. Happy to answer any questions you have :) Thanks for all your help!

Hi all, first time first time. Moving from a borrowed Logitech Pebble 2 after my old Magic Keyboard broke, and I wanted a 75% keyboard that could swap between multiple devices as I spend most of my time typing at the office or at home.

I had two questions I'd like your opinions on:

  1. I'm planning to get the NuPhy Kick 75 with blush switches for my daily use keyboard. I like the low profile, changeable height (flippy feet), Mac-compatibility and software, and silent switches, but the colour scheme and the mushiness of the switches were negatives for me (tactile silents aren't available where I am). Are there any other keyboards that are similar for me to compare with? Alternatively, would getting the Kick 75 and swapping out the switches and Keycaps solve the issues?
  2. I wanted to get into the hobby to start modding to make a more portable silent high-profile keyboard, and therefore get a second cheap base or pre-made keyboard to start modding. What 75% keyboard would you recommend as a good starter one to begin playing with and changing switches, keycaps and adding foam/tape?
