So im trying to decide between two keyboards. They are from thermaltake. 

Cherry MX blue one: http://www.ttesports.com/Keyboard/122/POSEIDON_Illuminated/productPage.htm?a=a&g=ftr#.VMGMrsYUqkh

Kailh Blue one: http://www.ttesports.com/Keyboard/130/POSEIDON_Z_Illuminated_Blue_Switch_Edition/productPage.htm?a=a&g=ftr#.VMGd7cYUqkg

 

Is Cherry worth the extra 10$ price premium over kailh? I've heard Kailh has bad quality over Cherry, and I would likely pay the extra 10$ for better quality switches, but if Kailh switches will last 1-2 years then that's what I will go with.

 

Any experiences that people have with kailh, please tell. 

 

Thx

Definitely. Cherry MX is not only better, it will last longer too.

Uh you can't really tell the difference between kahili and MX switches. If you did a blind test, you wouldn't be able to tell.

Ahem, @Syntaxvgm will tell you what he thinks of Kailh switches.

 

His opinion aside, yes, it absolutely is worth the extra 10 dollars.
