I feel like need to step up my game! I only ever used... standard switches hadn't created my own.

I did get a bunch of Asians, and Asians tend to look younger lol. We had the OG engineer who designed the M0110. To him everyone there was probably a kid.

Crazy to hear so many people picking different cherry-clone switches. I have to wonder, after so many iterations of a cherry switch if some of them are saying they prefer the same mechanical switch under different names, lol.

I'd be curious to see the representation of switches across boards that were on display. But that would be a lot of work for someone to catalog and then data enter all the info.

Too much work for sure! I want to enjoy the meetup too! haha

Honestly if I was given my choice of cherry are a clone. I 9-10 times pick the clones. The only thing to me cherry has going for it at this point is a name. Its like Asus Rog lineup... your paying for a name more then quality. While others have innovated and improved there offerings in most cases.
Cherry just keeps on chugging along with the same design.. the same scratchy molds. I hadn't tried new MX blacks but older production MX blacks in a rosewell board.. couldn't even compared to how smooth my Box Blacks and Gat blacks are.
