You just put us Cherry users in a "class" here. LOL. Well, I love my keyboard so no offense taken, but I'd prefer arguments based on facts, than empty remarks like that. Of course you were "irritated", so I should understand the comment as coming from somewhere else, but your brain.
Normally I ignore responses such as this, but first, I have said nothing whatsoever about "Cherry users", I only remarked that Cherry switches are not the only switches out there, and, additionally, that they are not considered particularly "good" or "desirable" by many users (and I will freely admit that "we" (whatever class or group you fabricate around "us", whoever "we" are) may be the minority) and that a multitude of other options are available.
The fact is that more than 100 keyboards have, indeed, passed across my desk, and I have completely disassembled dozens of them to understand how they work.
I certainly do not know everything, and learn something new every day, but I am fairly well-educated in keyboard construction, much of it through hands-on experience.
I feel that comparisons between Cherry switches and Alps switches are appropriate and informative, since these two families have considerable similarities and characteristics. It is bizarre and inappropriate to list out a dozen Cherry switches individually but lump a dozen Alps switches together. And to ignore "similar" switches such as SMK and Monterey is silly.
Then there are at least half a dozen other "major" switch categories that should be explored, and myriad "strange and obsolete" switch types.
Therefore, my criticism of the survey is because of its narrow focus on a subset of the universe of keyboards.
