Unpopular opinion: Hotswap boards are just training wheels for the real hobby
I built a GMMK Pro with Kailh Box Jades last year and thought it was the endgame. Then I soldered a simple 60% with Gateron Ink Blacks and the sound and feel were on a different level. The fixed connection just makes everything more solid and consistent. Am I crazy for thinking hotswap is holding people back from better builds?

Honestly, you're right and that soldered feel is just unbeatable.

Gatekeeping is lame. Hotswap lets people try things without a huge risk. Soldering is a skill, not a magic quality button. Your better build is just your personal preference, not a universal truth. Let people enjoy the hobby how they want.
