Just read this article and wondered if anyone else has tried it before?

I have used the linear variant. Very smooth, force similar to MX Red, lots of wobble. Stabilized keycaps were incompatible with MX.

I never knew that these existed.

Would love to see a review, particularly on the tactile versions.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I've purchased a few A4Tech products before and they were all crap.  I-Rocks stuff felt slightly higher quality in comparison.

I have one of these, I'll be doing a written review for TH on it in the future. One thing I can already tell you is that their marketing is absolute BS though.

"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

For those that aren't aware, bloody has no better a reputation in its' home market than razor does here. Enough said.

The switches are quite smooth, but also extremely light. Just don't believe anything that's on the box or the website.

Bloody marketing.

Bloody says it all, really.
