Title: Sejin SKR-2233

Is this (http://www.vshopu.com/sejinskr2233j/index.html) cool? Sandy? Looks a lot like the Futaba switch on your site...

I've encountered one Futuba-based board... an old Leading Edge model in very good condition.  I'd describe the feel as somewhat like the brown Cherries in a Compaq MX11800.  Sound is much louder, however... a rather unrefined and distracting clanky/klangy/echoey noise.

lal, it's membrane.  do not expect too much for boards with windows keys unless you know the board is with Cherry MX.

re Futaba switch
It's actually a mechanical switch.  You will get strange( or should I say *unpleasant* ) feel with it.  You'll get faint tactile feel, and then shortly after tactile feel, clicking ( distracting clanky/klangy/echoey noise as skriefal described ) comes with upwarding a key.   I evaluate the switch as " too much self-assertion, lacks Gracefullness"

So the SKR-2233 is rubber dome and the Futaba switch would have sucked anyway. I understand. Thanks to both of you, Sandy and Skriefal!
