Might as well help get this channel off to a flying start!

What's your favourite switch (key type) and why? What would you like to try but haven't yet and what have you tried but wasn't for you?

I bought an "Ant" brand keyboard recently and it had Kailh Red switches.

I don't know if that actually represents Kailh quality, but I had the switches failing from day 2. The keyboard was not 6KRO Anti Ghosting and the backlight was not RGB, just multiple colours. That's when I realised, they were probably not going to return my money.

I having been hoping to get a Cherry MX 10.0N but they don't sell to my country and I don't feel like trusting jewellery sellers on Amazon, who have listed it for 2x the price.

So just looking to find LP Speed or other similar switches, and get a board printed, to use with QMK stuff.
