I see a faker in this thread.
Yeah, you buy a lot of STOCK and pre-built boards. That does not, in any way, make you an MKB enthusiast.
Only once you have tasted all the possible switch types for Cherry (at least!) then can you compare with others. Topre and Alps also needed to really understand MKB switches.
Next step is to try the difference between acrylic customs and SUS customs plates. Still, that is not enough because you will need to have tasted the beauty of full alu plate.
In the end though, anyone who will prefer a board which:
1. Emphasis more on bling than quality.
2. Uses clone switches with inferior and questionable quality.
3. Non-ANSI (aka "standard") non-Tsangan layout, non-ISO layout.
4. Reliance on gimmicks to sell instead of creating value.
Unfortunately, all this criteria for me points to any board which is made for "gamers" and not typist boards. Trisnek is only one of the many culprits, which also include corsair, and some models for CM (which actually improved into using standard layouts and pretty decent build quality).
However, I need to mention this to a lot of people. Most Dota 2 pros that who aren't using sponsored boards are using Topres, Duckies and Filcos. Most SC2 pros are using custom boards.
So if you are someone who ranks a bling bling board with cloned switches like Razer Blackwidow Chroma above something like a Ducky, I suggest that you exit the "mechanical" keyboard thread and go enjoy the "gaming" keyboard thread instead, because here you will be treated as a retard, but there they will worship your "good choice" and congratulate your stupidity.
So get lost, because you have nothing to contribute.
I agree with the points you stated out. But, sound furious about this. LOL.
As an ex-user of Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Chroma, I must say it's switches quality is really questionable(IMO, it's bad).
But, the blings are really pretty. Layout wise is good as they're using "almost" standard layout. Typing on it is OK, better than rubber dome, but, inferior than Ducky.
I also find my Filco Majestouch 2 TKL is having better typing feel than my Ducky Shine 4. But, I think this might be subjective. Correct me if I am wrong.
