Diamond Tech's Truly Ergonomics keyboard adopted Kailh switches and abandoned MX Cherry.

Check out their explanation of why they're using Kailh below: (source)
QUOTE
We are pleased to mention The Next Generation of the Truly Ergonomic Keyboard is manufactured with the Next Generation of Kailh Mechanical Keyswitches as they are significantly better than the Cherry MX switches being replaced.

We have had vast difficulties with Cherry in regard to lead-time (up to 12 months) and low quality (double letters) with their products, more than we were expecting.

The Next Generation of Kailh Mechanical Keyswitches lasts much longer (60 million keystrokes), is built with better quality, reduces the actuation point (1.9mm), feels sturdier – less wobble, and are more comfortable using. Fantastic!

Furthermore, as there are some erroneous assumptions going around, we want to clarify that the Next Generation of Kailh Mechanical Keyswitches we are using are far from "clones".

- Clones would be identical products made by someone else. We do not want that.

- We want a much better product that what Cherry currently manufactures while being fully compatible.

- The switches we are using are denominated MX-Compatible as they provide the same functionality, requires no special modifications on our design specifications to make them work, and they work the same or better than the original design. While not a Cherry-branded MX switch, it is pin and dimension compatible with keycaps, PCBs, and plates designed for Cherry-brand MX switches as mentioned at GeekHack.org

- We are not alone, other major corporations are also running away from Cherry and using high‑quality switches manufactured by Kailh.

- A switch is just a switch, as long as it provides its intended functionality, for the period of time is intended to work – providing high‑quality and high‑reliability. Under this context, the brand name becomes unimportant.

As well, we want to mention that the switch cost difference in the volume we purchase is insignificant compared to the overall product cost.


This whole paragraph is marketing at finest. Is Kailh really
- better than Cherry?
- costs as much as Cherry?

I don't have solid evidence, but it seems like everyone is saying otherwise.

Actually, I want to buy the White Edition of Filco Majestouch 2 TKL, but, it's very expensive right? RM 600?

RM 600 for a Filco whistling.gif
Might consider getting a normal Filco and case mod, or get a normal Filco and splurge on keycaps.

Personally for me, the looks of your keyboard is secondary to your feel in the long run, especially if you touch type laugh.gif

I used to stare at my keyboard when I'm taking a break, run my fingers through the bezel.. look from different angles.. after 3 months - meh. Plug in kb and hammer away..

*update: adapted to black switches.. but my WPM reduced sweat.gif not really 100% on this switches yet.. hmm.gif

You're coming from tactile/clicky switches? In time your finger skill will increase and WPM will shoot laugh.gif Hope you like the linear switch feel blush.gif

Looks great - mix and match before you buy; buy first worry later. Now go color test all high-tier keycap. laugh.gif laugh.gif

The colors on the camo looks brighter than I remembered though. Well it's not easy to reproduce real life colors accurately in a render..

Can anyone please educate me on the clone switches, or send me a link?

Kaihua (kailh?), gaote etc.

Curious to try out the Kaihua browns after reviews mentioning that it is a more tactile MX brown, but less tactile than MX clears. Which is to me, the best tactile feeling.

Well ripster has wikified more or less what's floating around about these MX copy switches. You might have read one or the other... there just isn't much detailed review / analysis of these copy switches.
