Cherry MX Teal in the house.

I have been gone for a while due to personal reasons and an extremely busy season. So I will slowly update my past findings from the last couple of months starting now.

First off, heres the Cherry MX Teal switch. A rare non-click variant of the blue switch. It is pretty much identical in feel to a blue switch, just without a click. It has a click slider inside, but its fixed in position and does not seem to move. This is the same for all 5 samples I received. Neither me, or the contact know if this is the intentional design (it seems to be) or a sign of age. The switches were taken from a Terminal keyboard from 1990. Many thanks to yab8433408 from the KBC China forums for helping me get one of these in a nice little international switch swap. Neither of us understands the others language, yet we somehow managed to trade obscure keyswitches! Gotta love international collectors!

With this extremely hard to find variant, my collection is getting a bit closer to completion.

OH SHIT SON! Some other forums don't even believe some of these existed!

I'll take details later. The yellow ones are "fake". The ones that are bright yellow are bootlegs of the clear(?) switch the other one is a brand new and upcoming linear Chinese bootleg switch. I received one of the engineering samples and it feels great. I'll definitely buy some once they release.

Nice pics and nice MX collection!

That click slider not moving is a bit of a surprise. Seems like the engineer must have been having an off day.

Mainland China is the new global hub of obscure switches as Taiwan slowly swirls into the vortex that is ALPS.

BTW, yab8433408's nickname /user ID in KBC triad is 龍哥, which means Bro Dragon. He has the most complete switch collection among the Chinese people.

Impressive collection.

These are more different Cherry switches (18) than all different switches of any brand I have.

You haven't read one of Runeazn's posts.

Reminds me of the last time I was on a Chinese keyboard forum when I had to speak in German :lol:

P.S. In general this may be of some help moving around the forum for Chinese members:

User Control Panel -> Board preferences -> My language -> 简体中文 :ugeek:

Hello, everyone

In fact, I only a rookie in China

I have been silently watching this and want to exchange but not English and you

Together with the China I have been unable to register ID

I have my Korean friends in Korea conducted experiments can not be registered

Finally, I want to help me think that the Chinese in Australia registered a success

The reason may be due to IP or something else

Thank you for the opening of the Chinese I

Weird. Do you know what part of the registration causes the problems? Is it the email sent to validate the registration?
