  "textContent": "After finally diving into keyboards, a rabbit hole I avoided intentionally for years, and trying a bunch of different mechanical switches, I ended up with a Hall effect keyboard. I gotta say it is pretty gamechanging. The ability to have the WASD keys on such a short actuation to go along with SOCD is definitely a nice feature. Then being able to change to a more chill typing profile is just sublime.\n\nAdmittedly there are not nearly as many switch options, but, if you find a magnetic switch you vibe with, it's a pretty killer upgrade if you avidly game.\n\nI like shine through keycaps, with a cherry profile, and the biggest issue I found is way too many of these boards come with south-facing LED's, which sucks for shine though cherry profile keycaps.",
