Is GMK still all the rage or are people finally sick of high prices, 2 year waits and quality issues?

I saw a good amount of GMK freebie stickers though maybe it was just propaganda? The event was sponsored by Drop if that means anything.

Truthfully I didn’t take a good count of keycap makes, was instead looking at switches which in itself was very dizzying to keep up with!

My mind still lives in 2012 when it was just cherry mx, topre, and maybe some up and comers. 😆 

I saw so many switch types that I wound up forgetting them all.

And was slightly offended and confused when someone labeled their board as “vintage mx brown”. I’m not sure what qualifies as vintage anymore!

I haven’t kept up with switches in a year. Any new tactile that beat the Boba U4 for MX or Sunsets for Choc?
