As someone who is new to the hobby but also bought a hot swappable keyboard that seems to need quite a bit of modding and changes to get to the sound profile I’m looking for this succinctly answered a lot of my foundational questions! I see so much content that assumes what you know all these items mean (mounts, plate materials, switches, keycap material) and what that does to the sound/feel of a keyboard - this is a video I’d recommend to all before venturing out into the jargon.
