Why don't buy from taobao?

If u r 1st timer using Mech KB than u can't different them yet.

If u already old user for some time than u will need some time to get used even it is black vs black or brown vs brown.

I saw a Chinese article who open all the switch and compare them.

The different r build quality
(Cherry switch part mostly r tidy and fit, the china one some how a bit lose on internal stem part. Some user complaint their keycap a bit shakcy)

Spring length. So far non of china switch follow cherry design all of them had their own length and type

Internal part.
Mostly outlook r identical but internal r a bit different than cherry, there cut few part to make design simpler. Some PPL OK some not.

So far this is what I understand fr9m the article

well that old article btw . nows day a lot new manufacturer in china market which compete to make better switch. I am aiming to get one now to test too.... just i am still dilemma between RGB or single color with about RM70 different lol.

The price issue is not an big deal just i kind lazy to deal with RGB light setting.

87 key
104 key
Single color led
Rgb color led
Fixed rainbow color led

Different package different price
468 is rgb 104 key
249 is single color 87 key

today i had receive my new mkb board china

E Element Z77

It is an aluminum top MKB board with Outemu black Switch that Cherry switch lookalike. The KB itself will be crosshair MKB look alike without the macro key

Typing some how how feel lighter compare to cherry black.

Here are some photo i take



Double shoot Keycap but build quality still no that pretty/clean compare to western made one.

Aluminum vs PCB board. Such design was not so friendly to remove the switch and led in case you want self repair or replacing the switch it take me some effort to remove it compare to my another board.


PCB quality look better compare to my old china MKB board.

Outemu switch dismantle. The casing was hard to open compare cherry

outemu vs Cherry side by side


So far i can conclude that the build quality is OK but had more room of improvement.

Typing feeling was totally different compare to cherry so this who already get used to cherry switch might want reconsider if getting china switch. But for new user it still an cheaper option to try MKB.

Self DIY for this board will be no recommended unless u know what u r doing.
