Reviews on this keyboard come up pretty decent, I don't mind my current one for gaming as it has really low travel, but when I have to work I seem to do just as much correction as completing a word.

Any help on which switch to choose would be great. The "clonky" sound doesn't really matter to me, cause when I am working I'd prefer it quiet and when I'm gaming I have a headset on anyways.
 
I think switches can be a pretty subjective thing. Most of my keyboards have been Cherry MX Browns, including my current. But I also have the ROG Strix Scope II 96, and I am pretty sure mine had the Snow switches and I really liked them. One of the nicest typing experiences I've had with a keyboard.

Had I been able to get used to the smaller form factor I'd still be using at my daily keyboard, but even though it isn't my primary, I can't bring myself to sell it because I like it so much lol

Thought I was a die-hard Cherry guy, but I really liked the Snows FWIW. Purely a subjective assessment, I'm no switch expert.

Thank you for your input, I'm thinking of trying the one with the Snows. From what I was reading it can register faster due to no tactile bump and it's also $100 cheaper.
 
Wait, I just looked this keyboard up. Why on earth is it $700!? There are so many great options for cheaper!

Nuphy has a ton of great options, and the Wobkey Crush80 reboot is a fan favorite. All for half.
