Yeah definitely not discreet, more like obnoxious

Lmao, I wouldn't want to share a room with someone else with one.

For anyone not in the know, when I said discreet I meant modular switches like MX or alps. Buckling springs all share a common barrel plate and sending assembly. It is why you can't just have a single loose buckling spring switch really.

I believe discrete is the word you're looking for there, though discreet is really funny in this context.

Lmao, you are correct. I always forget that those are different words. Thanks.
