My current daily driver, replaced my Q2+Q0 combo, with Holy Panda X Clear switches – the punchy feedback just can't be beat!
I can only join in with the others, I started my IT bachelor at 21, finished at 25 – and was by far one of the younger students.
I'd also like to vouch for Keychron – I'm working on Mac and have a Windows PC for gaming, so being able to switch modes whenever I want to is a big plus as well. Also the build quality of the Q series is awesome, you can mod it however you like... can definitely recommend! (as seen in my currently only post on Lemmy)
