Best keyboard for first-time mechanical keyboard buyer

[CarzyBear]

I'm looking to get a new keyboard, and I wanted it to be mechanical since a lot of people say it has a superior feel and it can actually be fun typing on them. But I don't know which switch is right for me, since I haven't ever used one, and no places near me sell mechanical keyboards. I came up with 3 keyboards, here they are:

Razer Huntsman: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DHNZ676?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

HyperX Alloy Origins Core: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084GYSFDT?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

Corsair K60 RGB PRO: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/CORSAIR-iCUE/Gaming-Keyboards/K60-RGB-PRO/p/CH-910D019-NA

So which one of these would be the best for me?

Your best bet is to get a key switch tester, like this. I can recite exactly what every website on the planet will tell you about each individual switch type and you'll be no closer to an answer. I can tell you what I prefer, but that says nothing about what you prefer. The best way to figure out which switch you want in your first keyboard is to get a tester.

I mean... it really depends on the type of switch feel you think you'll like the most. Do you like feeling the actuation bump? The sound? etc. Research the different types of switches and come up with a list of maybe the top 3 switches you're interested in to help narrow things down.

I would recommend getting a switch tester then a gmmk, because you change the switch in it whenever you want, so you can keep it for a long time.

As I said, I haven't bought a mechanical keyboard before, not even used one.

That's why I said said "think you'll like the most".
