Why the MX reds are more expensive than the other switches such as the blue, black and brown???
Is there really so much difference it them???? Arent they just switches???? And so far didnt saw any OEM making MX Clears.... no other than Cherry themselves

it is due to higher demand, so you can notice MX red are more expensive than other switch such as blue, black and brown.

Currently now, you can see that quite a number of new mechanical keyboard product that is adopting usage of Cherry MX Red.

Edit : Fixed.

Eh??? I thought higher demand will make the switches to be produced more, then will be cheaper? You mean the demand for the reds are high, but the production are in limited quantity???

This will have to depends on the manufacturer.

It is up to manufacturer to either raise the output or maintaining the output while the demends gets higher.

There is a high risk of increasing the output as when Cherry MX Red gets more and more common, the demands will gets lower and lower by time goes.

Demand > Output = Better market price maintaining, and better margin profit

Output > Demand = Selling in big quantities to get better margin profit (Since price are lower, has to use quantities to cover up )

Okay... so meaning can just wait for the price to stabilize... then only buy????

if you're only buying the switch alone, yes. since it's quite rare at market.

still hunting transparent keycap for wasd key. no luck on tabao or ebay T.T

Yes.

Logitech G15v2 feels like:
1. soft
2. non tactile
3. quiet
4. smooth keycaps, quite easy to slip.

ouch, ALPS switch is so.... donno how to express the feeling...

p/s: typing on a DK1008 XM ALPS BLACK
p/s2 : i realise the DK1008 XM uses co-star stabilizer. How to remove the spacebar ah??

At least you can say whether it is good or bad?
Ducky black ALPS are clacky, try the green one, it might be fun

Check your shortcut cluster, near F9, F10, F11

Check the manual if you need more info
Ducky 9008 series keyboard have function to:
switch Caps lock and Ctrl
switch Alt and windows
Turn off windows key

EDIT: forgot that Ducky Shine uses DIPswitch at the back of the keyboard. Check that out instead.
