Buckling spring keyboards are the undisputed best keyboards, but Unicomp and the old IBM Model M's are the only keyboards out there that use them.
Not that either of those are anything less than god tier keyboards, but muh 60%. If someone made a 60% keyboard with buckling springs, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. TEX needs to do that.

Such keyboards have no tactile feedback. You can't type on them without looking on them, also there's no feeling that you've pressing actual buttons. They may look schway, but there's a line after which cool looking things are shit, and this kind of keyboards have crossed them long time ago.
