Title: Kailh optical switches?
Post by: ander on Mon, 24 December 2018, 03:30:54

Hey guys,

I was poking around on Amazon and found:

ABKO Hacker K662 (V2 Click) [with] Kailh Non-Contact Light Strike Optical Switch (https://www.amazon.com/ABKO-K662-V2-Click-Non-Contact/dp/B07FY6MRSY/ref=sr_1_39)

It's a keyboard with clicky, swappable Kailh optical (no-contact) switches. Has anyone tried these? Are they any good?

The beam is invisible, but is it that focused ? or is that just an artist rendition to trick young people.

"Kailh Light Strike" switches?
Light Strike is a trademark owned by Bloody, for their optical key switches. I smell shenanigans going on.

Those do look like like Kailh's optical switches though.

This was on Amazon, too, so I assumed some level of integrity...?

This isn't exactly revo-tech..  I don't see what they could possibly screw up..
