Considering Hirose was working with Cherry, I think those Hirose switches are legit.

Certainly interesting the dynamics company relations create. Makes for a lot of speculating  :-X

Another interesting fact is that throughout the blog post and on their web site, their name is entirely capitalised i.e. CHERRY.

Have we been using the "Cherry" form incorrectly all this time?

Is it an acronym, perchance?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

No, it was the founder's name. I think it's just a German thing.

I'm not sure I'd attribute it to Germany, I'd suggest it's most likely just a company brand identity thing. TIME magazine always styles it's name with capitals, for example.
