Surprisingly good switches. I like their feel.. almost more than real Cherry. Its a shame they break after like a month in use %)

I like these switches too, IMO they feel better than blue cherries.

They are attempts of a Taiwanese guy trying to produce cheap but good switches (makes sense why they break so easily). There are some sad stories behind the whole thing. :lol:

Please enlighten us! Or better, write a wiki article :D
I'm always curious to learn some new keyboard business stories. I have some cool ones, but sadly I can't reveal these without some Asian triads taking me out the next day.

I wonder if we'll get to see new Cherry clones now the market for mechanical keyboards has been improving, and the new ones all seem to come from Taiwan.

Are the clones you've got experience with compatible with real cherries, so you can swap stems and springs etc?

I'm not sure anymore. I think it fits but is too tight or to be usable.. or something.
