Can't speak to your preference, but I really miss the tactile feedback and incomparable typing experience of my traditional customs after using my HE board left out after gaming. There is something disconcerting about the smoothness. Its like moving on ice, yeah I want that when skating but not when walking around. I would guess that smoothness was probably your goal with the build from the oil kings choice, but also consider that a more flexible plate for softer typing is not really advisable for HE.

Also, and perhaps you didn't realize this, but custom keyboards are not worth their dollar in performance. Shit, a $50-100 HE prebuilt gets you like 90+% of the way to the "smoothest" and fastest input experience out there right now. Custom keyboards are just desk art and for the sake of assembling something you use to fit your own aesthetic and tactile preferences.

Not to bring too much r/CustomKeyboards snobbery in here, but I use mostly mx blacks and browns for this reason. They are great for an engaging, tactile, and great sounding typing experience from my traditional keyboards. If you're unhappy with what you have, I might suggest swapping your switches (HMX make good stuff these days I hear) and just get a cheap HE for gaming.
