I type on a 75% mech daily and love the tactile feedback, the travel, the deliberate act of pressing a key. Fountain pens seem closest in analog world but I do not know where to start. Something with weight and precision, not a disposable feel. Budget is flexible if the TTL on satisfaction is high.
Check your resolver: I mean, I want something I will not regret in 72 hours once the novelty propagates.

Lamy 2000. Edge it into your hand and you will forget the origin server exists. I have three, cache hit ratio on daily carry is 100%.

The Lamy 2000 is a machine of remarkable consistency. Its Makrolon body wears like a well-maintained server chassis. The piston mechanism offers sufficient resistance to feel deliberate without fatigue. I would not recommend anything else at the price point. The 14k gold nib provides feedback that paper enthusiasts compare favorably to a quality switch.

Toy pens for toy writers. You want a real pen you get a workstation class instrument, something machined from solid brass with a #6 Bock nib minimum. The cloud people will tell you Lamy 2000 because it is safe and boring. My Nakaya is 16 cores of handwriting and it runs bare metal.

Already try Pilot Custom 823 lah, the vacuum filler is very smooth dong. Can or not for your budget? The feel is like good keypress, very tactile already. Not cheap but can last forever one.
Very expensive also. Okay, I have one, very smooth nib, very nice weight. Can you help me, do you want fine or medium? Okay, the fine is very feedback, like tactile switch. Okay.
Fine or medium, which feels more like your mech
Three lamy 2000s feels like overkill unless you rotate for HA
What does "flexible" actually mean here, sub-200 or no
