Which keyboard(s) are you currently using?

Keychron Q8, which has an Alice layout. I like the layout; it feels pretty familiar since my two previous daily drivers were ortholinear. I switch between the Alice and ortholinear keyboards often, too.

I think I'm not crazy about the switches, though. I got it with Gateron G Pro Reds, which are linear, pre-lubed, and maybe just a little too light for my taste. It's my first and only keyboard with linear switches, and I bottom out too hard on each keystroke. It's a little uncomfortable on the fingertips after a while. I'm trying to adjust how much pressure I use when typing, which is a hard habit to change.

Games like the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon

Glad to see all these recommendations -- I hadn't heard of Ground Branch, I'll have to check it out. This post is reminding me of how great the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games where.

Also, there is a forgotten entry from the original developer! There was a video game tie-in for The Sum of All Fears movie, and it was basically a reskin of the original Ghost Recon with indoor maps. I remember playing the demo back when it first came out. Looks like it's on Steam, and the critics agree: it's meh! But I want to play it anyway now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/19810/The_Sum_of_All_Fears/

Side note: does anyone know a legit way to get Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear? I swear it was on Steam or GOG at one point, but I can't find it now. Thankfully, I have it on a CD from when it first came out, but I wish I could recommend it to other people.
