[NOS] Chicony KB-5191 (fake white mx, broken esc key)
This 'board is cool BECAUSE:
- fake white MX switches, while presumable Chicony-made (read: rickety/flimsy/chintzy), actually feel GREAT. Like MX Blues but way more tactilitity, great *snap* to them.
- fake white MX switches are 100% backwards-compatible with genuine Cherry MX (+the PCB mounting pins are identical
). You can mix and match springs and sliders.. - Personally, I'd like to throw the fake MX springs into a genuine cherry Blue, for a slightly firmer switch. Clears would be another great candidate as Clears are even stiffer than blacks and, IMO, could be a lil lighter. But that's just me.
I'd experiment myself but, because I wasted my summer this year, I won't have any time for projects until next summer
