I prefer Topre for extremely fast typing, but for "casual use" I prefer really heavy really tactile switches like Kailh Box Navy. The 3.5mm travel bothers me when I'm typing extremely fast, but the heavy weight and strong tactility helps prevent misinputs otherwise. Additionally, I can have Box Navy in an ergo layout. I have a Model F reproduction (F77) but I prefer Topre over it.

A huge fan of the Kailh Box Jades or Navies. They feel "heavier" when I type, and create an awful amount of rattle, but the most satisfying to type! Using a lightly modded keyboard, and can't comment much on the build quality, but needed a decent Bluetooth keyboard. A tip for beginners - get testers and find out the differences between the switches. Choose the ones that sound most aesthetic to you. It's about sound (and typing experience) that makes the mechanical keyboards stand out. Besides, the quality of the keycaps requires a careful deliberation. Thin PBT types can sound "tinny" or change the perception; use the double shot. Always settle for a hot-swappable board - you can easily change switches and caps and use them in any combination. Happy typing!

I'm just gonna say that as someone typing 120+wpm for years now, I hate to see high actuation force vilified like this. It's my preference and I quite enjoy the higher force needed. Fewer accidental presses, and you can even lightly drum on your keys without them activating, which is fun and relaxing. I went from cherry mx blues to cherry mx greens to kailh box navies and I love them to pieces. I find that the people who swear by very light linear switches rarely type as fast as me, take that as you will. I think they fell down a strange rabbit hole.
