While I won't take away from your opinion, I want to warn others to be aware that this is a hotly debated topic, and YMMV.

There's no accounting for preference when it comes to switches or keyboards. Some people quite like Cherry switches.




Cherry switches sound and feel like they have sand in them. In fact if I put actual sand or dirt into my white Alps keyboard it will sound and feel like that. The only exception are blue MX which somehow manage to perfectly replicate the nerve twisting experience of nails scratching on a chalkboard.

I refuse to believe there’s anyone that actually prefers Cherry switches. Most people just don’t realize there are better options.
