Hello guys,43 studio there.
Recently, there are lot of friend tells me that there is a switch on Geekhack that is very similar to my obsidian switch, I read the post and I will respond to the following points:
First of all, the accusation of plagiarism H1 switch.I got the idea to make an extremely smooth switch just like vintage MX black at October the 2019 when I were loving using vintage black switches .To achieve this.I place the order with some new technology to jwick in the end of October 2019.
And I got my sample at Nov.28,Share them with my trusted friend,earlier then HHHH got the sample.
At January of 2020,I Sold some test Pack,and begin Group buy from jan.14 to Feb.14
HHHH is everything later then my obsidian switch ,and you just accuse me of plagiarizing your switch? Plz tell me how can I stealing your ideas?
About the clone.This two switch have significant difference,obsidian using 62cn Black spring,and the custom build switch tops with a side engraved 43 studio logo.
The following are some evidence screenshot and links:

I hope you will respond one by one to what I said above,I have relevant legal documents, if necessary, can be litigated;
The original plan was 67 grams, but it was changed to 78 grams. To resemble a cherry's black axis
My Chinese and English skills are terrible, so I ask for your understanding first.
1.
Your first thought is from 2019 to October.
My first thought is August, 2019.
2.
I may have received the sample later than you because I am in Korea,
but the day when the factory delivered it to me was November 11.
And I sold some sample switches in my Korea store. That's November 26th.
The final switch, not the sample, was launched on January 6 in Korea.
3.
I did not make my own mold and prepared using existing mold.
JWK told me Your switch said the logo is on the top shell ?? ( anyway ) and some of the materials are different.
but As stated in the previous article, I didn't want to add to the confusion.
Nevertheless, many people asked if it was like your switch.
I have been discussing with vendors and testing switches for GB for a long time.
The idea of you and I was very perfect.
It can be seen as the destination that everyone wants.
It doesn't matter who thought first or who made it. But I think that based on Cherry switch is not a monopoly.
I am not good at English, so my foreign friend is helping me.
This process may have been misplaced. Please excuse me. I never meant to blame you.
I really wanted to get off the hook. in some suspicious people.
I hope we can prepare a good switch together next time.
