I thought this was about network switches

But it does amaze me how big the consumer market has become about keyboard switches, it has become insanely hobbyist. From buying a new keyboard I can appreciate how different each key can sound and feel but its become huge.

If you keep to the middle ground, it's not too bad. My journey started by ordering an inexpensive switch testing set with a bunch of Cherry/Gateron switch types, using it as a fidget toy around the desk for a few months, and concluding I liked the Cherry MX clear switches the most (no loud clicking sound, bit more actuating force, easier to feel actuating force than browns).

Result: got a WASD keyboard with clear switches in 2017 and have had no issues since, no sign of any wear, and little need to go down the endless rabbit hole. You're right though, the market for rabbit-holers has somewhat exploded.

I thought it was about electrical switches. Even the first paragraph didn't help me disambiguate.
