Never heard of any of these except for MX. Been away for a while looks like I have a lot of reading to do.

Hako True/Clear are new, so no one really knows how they feel.
Kaihua/Kailh switches seem to be really popular recently.
Cherry MX are okay stock, I wouldn't get them.

Whats the most popular in the Kaihua/Kailh? Which switch of those would you go with?

If you like clicky switches, Kailh Blues are better than Cherry Blues. I've not tried any of the other Kailh types but if you were to get Clears, I would modify them by lubing, changing springs, or other things.

MX Clears are always nice. The force curve is not for everyone though.

The hako switches seem to be very very new and are on preorder right now and will become available February 2018, never heard of them before actually.
I would go with Kaihua blues or like others said, clears! :thumb:

MX Clears are always nice. The force curve is not for everyone though.
Hako Clear is supposedly inspired by the Cherry MX Clear but the bump comes earlier in the stroke and looking at the force graph it is like a chunk off the top of the bump has been chewed off. Kailh Box switches are a bit bumpy also.
Hako True has the same slider as Hako Clear but a spring with a steeper curve: lower initial force, smaller bump and higher bottom-out force but about the same actuation force. I anticipate that people who don't like MX Clear will like Hako True even less.

Kailh speeds have a very nice feel. I'm a big fan of the reduced travel, and novelkeys sells them in both 50g (coppers) and 70g(burnt orange).
