Kailh Switches

Kailh switches, yay or nay?

Their bad. A friend had a keyboard with Kailh switches. The space bar worked only on the left.

 

Being honest I prefer non mechanical to those cheap horrible switches.

 

Cherry all the way.

Kailh switches are a fair bit better than membrane, but not up to the quality control of cherry.

 

They vary significantly more from switch to switch, than the almost fully consistent feel of cherry or other premium switch types. They also cause a fair bit more wiggle in the keycaps, and the action is not always as smooth as it should be.

That being said... I actually prefer kailh greens to my second top, cherry blues. The actuation point is higher on the switch, so when gaming or typing it feels a little more responsive. 

Now... that being said once again, I'll probably be going back to a cherry keyboard after this one finishing dying; not because of the keys, they all still work great. my problem is the cable being pinched and cutting out every once in a while.

Kailh quality is really questionable.

They fall behind Cherry, Gateron and Outemu now.
