tldr; Alps-clone Matias switches. Loud, tactile, Mac-focused layout. For those chasing vintage Alps feel.

Best praise vs top criticism for Matias Tactile Pro
βI'm a big fan of Matias switches and anything Alps. I use the Tactile Pro with my Mac mini at my desk and love the Matias switches and the 3 USB ports in the keyboard. So, I bought the Tactile Pro mini for use with my laptop. I love the fact that the keycaps show the additional symbols you can type when you hold down the Option and Shift+Option keys. These designs are pretty old. I hope Matias comes out with new models that have USB-C and are programmable.β
βShame that Matias isn't exactly on the up-and-up, as they're the only ones who still make Alps-style keyboards... Granted, they seem to have abandoned the PC market...β
