Hello Everyone!

What you see in this video is the switch testing machine we have at our disposal! Currently it is testing the life and durability of a switch that is not being pressed in the centre. The machine is capable of 5 presses a cycle, with 1 cycle a second in this test.

This machine has been used to prove how durable Cherry MX switches are - in one case, a batch of MX reds lasted well over their 20 Million key stroke life! (they stopped the test at 30 Million).

Pretty cool! Cherry MX are rated at 50 million key presses though ;)
Will you test Kailh switches, too?

Have you discovered any bad clones with it? I'm curious if the original is the best.
