Title: Any comments or experiences with Rapoo V7 mechanical keyboard
Post by: xuanwumen on Fri, 03 January 2014, 09:16:19

Just wondering how guys think of China made switches ? Eg, rapoo v7 with the yellow switches ???

Are they worthwhile to try ...

The second thread has a couple of links to a Chinese forum post with very detailed analysis and comparison of the switches.

The second thread has a couple of links to a Chinese forum post with very detailed analysis and comparison of the switches.

The first link stated that there was reliability issues and even the controller crapping out within weeks/months. Is that still the case?

Yes, i'm Chinese and i read the comments inside China from users in China.

It does not have much high performance feedbacks, except the pricing.
But it is said they're updating to higher version and may release sometime.

What i really wonder is how the market respond to china made switches. Not just rapoo v7. Maybe some others more in the future.
Will people be willing to pay to test all these chinese swicthes kb.?

Anyway,thanks for the links.
Always get sth new here....   :)) :))
