Something went wrong with Google translate... repeatedly.

If it uses Cherry switches, it is quite a cheap source for them once you desolder them.

That's why I'm questioning whether anyone thinks it's legit or not. I guess those TVe Gold ones were about the same price... But they didn't have 9 scupper drainage!

I would also guess that it doesn't use Cherry MX. They aren't waterproof without some sort of rubber cover which they would have had to fit underneath the caps. MX are rated at 50 million keystrokes as well, not 30 as stated there.

Yeah seems too good to be true. The reason I thought it was was because when I searched it came up with this:

No. It's also labeled "Ergonomic" and has half-sized caps for the function keys. I've also never seen a mech with the large rounded mods this one has.

They just made a mistake. Cherry makes rubber domes too.

Looking at all the other items from this fivestar... there are quite a lot of them that are clearly not possible to be MX that are listed as such. Newegg has gone majorly downhill since they started allowing these other sellers on there.

Cherry MX black...

I really don't like what they've done. The people they front for rarely have better prices on the things I want, and always have a ton that I don't want and is not relevant at all to what I want to buy.
