Wow, clear top MX blacks. Wake me up when Cherry does something actually interesting. Like a working smooth switch, that seems beyond their capability here. Maybe in another Dimension, they might actually be quite decent. Cannot wait to see people's complaints when they realize they've paid a huge ...

Has it even been confirmed that production of MX Clears have got new tooling? Maybe spending their allotted budgets, but may never happen again any time soon, due to the current recession and ongoing failures. It was never a switch that Cherry seems to have sold that many of. It was mainly for Indu...

https://www.cherrymx.de/en/cherry-mx/mx-special/mx-ergo-clear.html Official Ergo Clears.... They need to be thoroughly tested when they become available. Cherry hasn't stepped up to the Great Feeling switch game for some time, unless you include all those fanatics that lube and modify their switche...

Woo-hoo, BOX Whites still rule the click jacket world.

Nothing else compares, unless it's the Navy Model, that alone is simply supreme even after all these years.

Yeah, Drop pricing is getting into Zealio Territory here, not good at all :( . You can get better switches elsewhere, at a lower cost especially when you have many 108 keyboards. But if you have a 60 keyboard, then these might be worth it here. Just to experience the Panda Supreme Effect :shock: . I...

Can't believe that ALPs is still around during 2022. It's something that never dies here on this Forum. Good to see a Chinese firm is supplying ever more key-caps because you can never have too many key-caps, under your roof. Far cheaper than having actual Keyboards these days, just wish they would ...

Keychron has stepped in here to produce some really low-priced all Aluminium Keyboards. Amazing, even during these times, a Manufacturer has decided to supply a whole range of keyboards in a variety of layouts. Love their commitment to supply a decent keyboard, that you can apply any style of MX swi...

"There are better choices out there at the same price-point," not just because they're terrible switches or anything. I would say all CherryMX design and manufactured TODAY are absolute Land-Fill style of switches. You can't recycle them hence the earth is stuck with them for a few thousand years, ...

But a "K76M Fun" keyboard in black with blue-switches without the ORS system basically doesn't exist. :lol: The funny thing was that all you could buy a few years back were those "Blue" like switches, the click are sublime. Not many liked the sound of Clicks back then, how things change during 2022...

Yeah, these do have a high death count in switches :evil: . The ones that fail, go into the bin immediately. Have actually bought about 327 of them, about 12 were turfed away, so do expect some dead/sick switches, within that amount. Not many, when you consider how many were purchased in the beginni...

Pretty surprising update from i-Rocks to their K76M Fun keyboard My youngest Grand Kiddie, loves her mini lego figures sitting in the upper section of that keyboard. She spends a lot of time looking and playing with them, instead of typing on the keyboard. Hope that eventually iRocks delivers anoth...

Expecting quite the epic sales thread from you someday. Those little plastic things were made for loving! Suspect my Kids or Grandkids will do the selling, once I'm gone. Imagine the hoard of junk that's waiting for them, once I head off to Hell :evilgeek: . ( Even harder still to ship now too. :ro...

plus there’s only a certain number of Topre boards you can own before you question what you’re doing and whether it wouldn’t be better to get some fresh air etc. 100% AGREED. It applies for all keyboard-like addictions, that includes key-caps collecting too. Thus far have more than a few million ke...

Yeah, thin keyboards are the pits. Have never even bothered to waste any money on one, because it's best buying a REAL solid depth keyboard, that would last for decades. The Feeling is where it's at, something the anorexic keyboards lack severely. You might as well draw key caps on cardboard and typ...

Actually liked the key caps on this keyboard.

Despite it being only engraved into the key cap material. They should've produced an injected model, but who knows, too expensive for this style of keyboard?

They just cut and run instead of spending any more money on it......

Very glad that Chyros has finally joined the average 75% Plus crowd, for 2022. I have liked the 75% layout for at least 19 months and shall continue using that layout. Although the Gat Yellows were a pleasant surprise because they are some of the cheapest in the Cherry MX range (nothing wrong with t...

I've been off Windows so long I've honestly no idea how old Windows 7 is. My last was XP. Are they on 11 or 12 now? Is it a new number every year, like every other OS these days? My second PC was an Apple 7200 which used OS 7. The very best version of an Apple OS that was ever made. Efficient and, ...

I want a rock solid keyboard that feels and works great, but also something that will last. Quality trumps quantity. Most fanatics on this forum site agree with you 100%. I'm not really the type to invest a small fortune in a bunch of ancient keyboards and then spend another small fortune fixing th...

Love it. A few hours of looking at something is all it takes to go from penny-watching prudence to all-out bells and whistles! That is Life in general. If you are always in penny-pinching mode, you miss out on the BEST in Life. Since Life is so short, why wait on being extensively pleased with owni...

The ML is leagues ahead of its rubber counterpart.

Clearly another person who hasn't tried a Topre keyboard .

Obtuse, even?

My fault, I typed it from recall, which I use with Forum replies on another website.

Have removed that word...... sorry for implying that Chyros review was substandard, it clearly wasn't. Just the ineptitude of me, showing you my laziness in posting correctly.

Wasn’t there a poor man’s version of Topre? Sometimes you have to get the Topre outright and decide for yourself why it's a unique switch with it's typing feel. Buying cheap copies denies you the outright feeling of using Topre from the get go, it's like pretending to have hardcore sex with your gi...

Thank you for this wonderful review of a strange keyboard from East Germany. Kind of reminds me of the Cherry Viola switch design. The spacing/look of this switch has that ever German eccentric style of design. Instead of making it simple, they decide to make it complicated beyond belief, thinking i...

Lots of stiff Chinese competition in the radioactive turd business.

As long as it blinks and changes colour for these companies, they might as well start printing the money - 24/7.

Like elsewhere on Earth.

Of all the old firms still around in this game, Omron has the mechanical chops to make good switches again. If they maybe aimed a little higher than the backlit zombie apocalypse keyboard set. :roll: The downside is that they will build and market, specific Key-caps that shall only fit their own sw...

I like the sound quite a lot, shame they're so expensive. The really GOOD switches, tend to always be slightly higher in cost. Best to suffer the cost than suffer another day's use, of a standard Cherry MX designed switch. Have already put in an order for these clicky-babies, nice release for 2022.

Good review Chyros. Nice to see more Clicky-switches getting some love here on DT.

A true pure breed 'Mongrel Switch', that deserves its existence and praise.

Have around 14 keyboards, all using the humble BOX whites.

This is what the 'Blue Cherry' switch should've been like. The distinct clicky-feel without excessive reverberation.

to see who would be pedantic enough to comment on it. It's still remarkably effective to this day xD . YES indeed, it picks up on the 'cretinous' quite effectively here, since I am from the traditional Cherry MX user crowd (older age tends to do that for you). Too old and lazy to hunt down peculiar...

Northgate 101I. Well, I broke my $50 rule again, because this one has my favorite layout, and because they rarely turn up, even in crappy condition. YES, have to agree, a near PERFECT layout without any need to modify whatsoever. Onya :D . This one needs literally nothing, except to be used and enj...
