What do you think about the Apex Pro Keyboard?

The other day I was in Target and they had a keyboard display, and in that display was a SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL. For those unfamilliar with them, they feature what they call omnipoint keyswitches, which basically means that they are all essentially analogue inputs, which means you can adjust the actuation point in software.
I know there are a lot of keyboard enthusiasts here on Tildes, so I thought I'd ask what you thought about it. While I'm probably not going to buy one anytime soon, I'm interested in it. But I'd also use it almost exclusively for typing, which isn't really the target audience for it. I generally prefer tactile switches but I realized while demoing the Apex that I've been using rubber dome switches so much in recent years that it doesn't matter too much.

- What have been your go-to art/craft supplies this year?
- What have you tried for the very first time?
- Have you returned to using something you haven't touched in a long while?
- Have you been pleasantly surprised by something?
- Has something disappointed you?
- Was there something you dreamed about making art with, but couldn't get for some reason?

Seems to be a common subject online that pinterest sucks. I've found so many threads of people asking for alternatives...but I've yet to find a replacement, or really recommendations.
I've been trying out the site cosmos.so, Interesting concept but it is limited by the lack of android and Firefox plugin support
Any suggestions? What I am looking for is a tool that I can use to save stuff I find online, links, images, screenshots. Preferably open sourced or privacy friendly, but at this point I'll take anything lol.
I feel like there has to be something out there!! Not sure why I am having such a hard time finding it. Any recommendations would be appreciated

I don't have much to add as the title kinda says everything. If anyone wishes to disclose their personal goals that is fine but not required.
I am not good at long term planning so learning how others do it can help me make my own.
As always in this kind of question I will keep things broad. There is no limit in scope, difficulty, complexity, etc. Any planning methods are welcome.
Thanks!

No, really. Sincerely putting this out there.
Using Tildes sometimes feels like talking into the void. The UI, even in Three Cheers, is minimal. The conversations sometimes clinical, though I greatly appreciate the compassion that comes through here versus other places that shall remain nameless.
Yet I am struck. I've seen people here, more recently, cite meeting other Tildans (Tildaniens? Tilwhoseits?).
As a somewhat reclusive 51 year-old married dude with only furry children, I don't get it. But I do know that I need more friendships. It gets harder, as you get older. (As for me, not keeping toxic friendships from school and later 2 decades working remotely led to, well, this.)
So how do you connect with humans as humans here? How do you "make friends"?
Asking as someone who has a diagnosed potent ADHD and perhaps other as yet medically undetermined NDisms.
(No idea what tags to use for this. Help?)

Edit: Might as well add my own picks.
Hercules
Tarzan
The Emperor's New Groove
Lilo & Stitch
The Lion King (I'm not a huge fan of TLK as a film in general but I can't deny the soundtrack is too good to lose)If the soundtrack weren't a sticking point for TLK, my fifth pick would be Brother Bear.
