After physically testing every available Cherry MX style mechanical switch on the market, Input Club found that the only manufacturer that surpassed Cherry MX’s tolerances was Kaihua. Based on that research, the Massdrop and Input Club Halo Switches (patent pending both foreign and domestic) were created. Input Club's design took into account the best attributes from quiet and clicky switches, which resulted in a switch that has near perfect consistency and smoothness with each press. You can take a look at the graphs linked to learn more about the Halo True and the Halo Clear switches. The switches are compatible with all MX-style keycaps, but if you want to change them altogether, the K-Type is hot-swappable, to boot. This means you won’t have to buy a whole new keyboard should you want to try out a different switch type later on.
