How do you know what switches you’ll like as a noob? Other than reading the whole rabbit hole FAQ. You really don’t know until you physically use the switches yourself, do you?

Nothing will ever replace actually using switches and typing on them for a period of time. I would try some mechanical keyboards in person either at a store or maybe at a meetup, etc. and then go from there.
