I have been dying for some keyboard recommendations. I'm using a corsair w/ blue keys but I feel like the activation force is becoming a bit too much for everyday continual use (my opinion).

I was really happy with my Filco Majestouch with blue cherries, loved the clickiness, it was a bit tough though, but I used it until I couldn't anymore due to bouncing (bad firmware, they had forgot that switches start bouncing a bit more with wear)..

The red switches are non-clicky, they activate somewhere around the lower half of the travel, they are super sensitive which takes some getting used to after being used to being able to more or less rest your hands on the keys without them moving :P I usually press them fully down anyway and that feels nice and tactile.. WASD also offers to install rubber dampeners on every key, I've not tried that and can't say if I'd prefer it.

I have a Majestouch with Brown switches, I love it to death, it's the best keyboard I've ever touched.
My daily driver is this one https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_lis...

Leopold FC660M, very stable build, doesn't take up too much space and my favorite switches are the Cherry MX Red (linear, non clicky).

Though the Ducky ONE 2 SF comes close as well.

And I've tried many mice in the past years, the Glorious Model D is now my favorite and it's reasonably priced.
