Today we look at a new, very interesting switch design by Novelkeys; the Cream Clickie! This switch uses a plate spring to create a clicky switch, but is otherwise almost entirely linear. Hope you enjoy the video!

Amazing how the MX design went FREE and out of China you get this style of switch.
Just goes to show, whilst the Yanks are screaming about the dominance of the Chinese, they actually produce the decent gear we all love here in the West.
There's more to come in the MX realm when you leave it to the Chinese, they will push the boundaries of design where the Germans have given up and left the building.

Cherry hasn't been German in a long, long time, mein australischer Freund. The Germans left the building, right enough, but it was still in pretty good shape all the way back then.

It's how we Convict's take the PISS on manufacturers that FIRST produced the MX style of switch
.OLD cherry switches were good but not great under any circumstance due to the fallacy of their design. The Chinese simply refined and packaged a whole new variety, into the MX package.
Because they need to fill the required manufacturer base in the Keyboard World that require MX styled switches.
It's like pushing the MX hardware further into a new territory, just so it fits into the current production lines in their country. Means cheaper availability, despite failed economic zones of the West.
