"on initial inspection plastic quality looks to be better than switches i have no experience with"



"Let's be clear here: This thing that looks just like a Cherry MX switch, right down to the stem and internals, is not a knock off. It's its own thing."



"I know what a knock-off is. Trust me, I have tons of experience with things that are completely different to chinese switch knockoffs"



It IS /r/mechanicalkeybaords, which might as well be ripster's cult following.



So some guy somehow get's a hold of one and defends it. He can also judge the plastic quality by looking at it. Sounds legit.



Very true and there are a ton of armchair "keyboard scientists" who make claims without actually backing them up with evidence. I'm just amazed that they think they can eyeball something and say it's good quality plastic and they know it's not a cheap knock off because they're Chinese. I've seen enough Chinese stuff to know that there are **** tier knock offs and their are **** tier knock offs that look high quality...then, of course, there's the decent and good stuff, but it's less common.And their claim that it's high quality because it's Razer even though it's made by Kailh and just one of their pre-existing switches with a dye job and face lift is laughable. It's like saying if it looks like a chicken, sounds like a chicken, and feels like a Chicken, it must be a duck because someone put a fake beak on it.You mean you can't tell exact plastic makeup and quality just by looking at it? And you can't tell something is quality without disassembling it, seeing how it's put together and works, and seeing what it's made with?He did say it's a review sample and he's a "reviewer", so, yeah...
