As someone who is constantly trying new switch combination, I was wondering about your preferences when it comes to switches.
After being a “linear-guy” for a long time, BKE Heavies has currently occupied a special place in my heart, but I’m still searching for that perfect linear.
So all in all, what are your favourite switches? Buckling Spring? Alps? MX Browns?

I’ve only tried mx switches and I gotta say that I totally don’t care for the non-clicky tactility feel. No matter how strong is the friction it’s just friction, not some “insta-pingy” feedback to your fingers. I do like the tactitly of clicky switches but they are just too loud. So, linears.
Linear lifer here.
Nice 
Any linear in particular?
I’ve loved the linear BOX-switches for a while now.
Lubed, films, 62g vintage blacks. I don’t know of a linear that is as stable, quiet and smooth.
Vintage blacks and hybrids mostly, my personal favourite ATM is zeal bottom, panda top, vintage black stem which I’ve done 2 boards with and have enough for a third but… Those pandas ain’t easy to come by haha!
Current favorite is lubed 78g Zilents, but I’ve been trying to get my hands on panda housings so I can finally try out Holy Pandas. One day!
One of the many nice things about 40% is that covering two boards with that switch is still cheaper than a full size 
I love the feel of clicky switches but don’t like the noise. I mostly build with tactile. Until about 6 months ago I would have said linears were dumb, but it turns out only most linears are dumb. I picked up a board on /mm back in December that had vint black stems in zeal housings with copious amounts of lube, and it actually feels way better than I thought it would. Still probably not my first pick for switches, but I can appreciate them.
So to answer the question, all of them! All switches are special and deserve a fair try!
kinda sad that clicky isn’t more loved here. But then again, more clicks for me!
I like mx blacks for linears also though. I have them on my work DD board. Makes officemates a bit more relaxed because it’s not clicky like some of my boards have been.
~3200g MX Black
