Keyboards / Re: Dai ichi Yellow - Very strange indeed...

Although this one is different from the SKCM ALPS style one Zeal's Clikiez uses, it resembles the mantis leaf used in Tai-Hao APC switches or Xiang Min KSB-C switches. I haven't tried yet myself, but have heard good things.
Might have to try those out, they seem promising. I do want to compare those with this dai ichi yellow, and maybe zeal clickiez if I can pick them pick them up for not ridiculous prices.
This is probably the strangest switch I have. It's a mx clone called dai ichi yellow, it's this very strange mx clone made by this random manufacturer that there is like no info on at all or I just missed it for some reason.
The weird thing about it is that it has a click leaf, unlike other mx clones, which confuses me a lot. I don't think I've seen a switch do this apart from those zeal clickiez which apparently have a click jacket. It actually feels alright, like if you gave me this I would probably type on and be fine and like it. It's a lot more tactile when not in a keyboard though. I looked around and someone said that there was binding with the switches, I only have one cause it was sent alongside another switch that will be in a small build.Show Image
Yeah this is a pretty odd switch, almost a mix of Pro World clickies & Tawain Jet Axis switches!
Those switches are also pretty interesting (and also niche and expensive)
I do have a jet axis switch but it's the black linear one instead of a clicky one.
