Switched recently to a Keychron K4 (v2), the aluminum/hot-swap model. It's heavy and solid, compact enough that I can have a numeric keypad without feeling like my trackball is off to the right somewhere in Narnia, and the default keycaps and lighting are (to me) really classy and good-looking. I bought it with Gateron Reds (linear) and then swapped the core keys (alphanumerics, keypad) to Kailh Box Whites because I really like the clickiness. Weirdly, having the outer keys on a linear switch is pretty comfortable, probably because those are often hit with weaker fingers or odd angles, so having a light linear reduces finger fatigue. I absolutely love the clickiness, and the sound with the aluminum frame and the default keycaps is really solid. Once I got the default switches out (the tolerance in the aluminum frame is pretty tight, so getting the default switches out requires a really firm tug!), swapping switches on a whim is pretty easy, so I'm looking forward to playing with some other switches as we go. On the down side, the absolutely uniform layout of the keys definitely throws my fingers for a loop. I'm used to TKL-style keyboards where the arrow keys or special modifiers up top are easy to find by touch because they're surrounded by a gap. That's no longer the case, so I had to get creative. At the moment, the solution is to use SA-profile keycaps on those keys, which are much taller than the default keycaps. It doesn't look wonderful, but it's pretty effective: I can now find the arrow keys pretty consistently without looking down, and I can find the middle of the numeric keypad thanks to the scooped 5 key in the center. I also miss having programmable macro keys, but I worked around it by using Karabiner to convert the NumLock key (which does nothing on Mac OS) to a Hyper key so that I can use that for key combos across the keyboard. And as an extra, a picked up a little six-key keypad (usually intended for Osu) that also has hot-swap switches, and I've been fiddling with programming that for extra macros like muting/unmuting in Zoom & Webex.
