Fair enough, I live in Germany which is exceedingly convenient for the hobby. Around when I decided to build my first keyboard, there was a convention a few hours away by train. Went there and tried out all these testers and keyboards that these super nice people were providing. Based on what I’ve always liked, I thought I wanted a 20-40g linear low profile switch, but turned out I loved Kaihl sunset, which was tactile and 55g or something.
So, yeah, if you’re not sure, best to try to get some testers. Good luck!
Not me, I just bought a kit. I believe the vendor did and have the repo public on GitHub, but I have trouble finding it half the time.
