well, I explained my situation short: I'm a rubberdome user, but own a keyboard with red switches that I feel are nice but feel empty to me. Now I found a keyboard and can't decide on which switches I should get or which are better for me to be close to the rubberdome feel. Nailed it down to red or white switches, and had trouble figuring out what linear and tactile means and how big the feedback feels.

Sure, people can only help that much but, I was genuinely looking for help, not being lazy. at that point I already researched for 2 days as much as I could but there is only so much you can find online on articles. I had another keyboard as reference but no real idea how it compares to, say white switches in terms of feel and reactivity.

What kinda logic is that though? tell someone, who has no clue, to ask ultra specific questions.. you can only ask as specific questions as you understand yourself.

Unfortunately, I had no idea how the feel of switches compare to the feel of a rubberdome keyboard, and that is where my problem was and why I asked. I needed some information maybe from a former rubberdome user who switched to mechanical and might give me an insight how they compare.

My question was specifically: What switch would be better suited for a former rubberdome user: Kailh Box red or White. I gave specific information that I wanted as close to rubberdome feel as possible, but need a noticeable feedback. that's it. I don't know if red switches maybe do have a feedback that simply nobody mentions because "duh everybody knows they got feedback" or the other way round..

It's quite hard as a newbie to find this kinda information online when 99% of the articles just.. compare the switches feels to those of another mechanical keyboards switches..

Dumb questions are usually a result of lack of knowledge. How do you get knowledge? by experience. Online articles aren't always the solution and just buying a random keyboard "on good luck" is also a bad idea.
