Got this today, was cheap. It is mechanical clicky switches, some sort of blue ones. Anyone know if they are any good?

Pull a keycap and see what brand of switches. The logo does not ring a bell, but if the keyboard feels good, it's good for now!

From the looks of it it has something written on it, I just can't read it.
You may be able to.

They are Switch master, a clone of cherry mx blue.

It might get tested at some point though.
The keyboard feels ok, it is quite heavy and the keys feel pretty good. It is my first mech keyboard, as i just cannot justify spending £70 on a corsair one.

Come back in 3 months and tell us moar
So we have 40 coin, 100 coin and 200 coin KB that are similar... Reminds me of some motorist on a CB500 that is as fast as some Panigale riders...
Read some of the reviews off Amazon, some are very good, and it seems it may well be a pretty durable keyboard

If they are Kailh switches, those are more than fine.
Cherry is just a brand name, a good switch ain't rocket science.

Switchmaster is made by Huano.
I'm not sure about the quality and longevity of their KB switches, but they do make some relatively decent mouse switches (worse than Omron, but definitely better than no-name stuff you find in $5 rodents).
Cheap too.
Gotta bookmark this thread to see if it still works 3-4 months down the road.
Nice find, BTW. Did you buy it in Walmart?

It's a chinese keyboard with chinese mechanical switches. Don't expect the world from it, but it will get the job done. I have seen a lot of good reviews of it and the reviewers seem all happy.

its probably green inside but its not mould.....
Hahah nuff said
@3rold Chinese isn't what it used to be. These days they actually can produce quality stuff and some of their imitations do better than the originals, often at a lower price point.

I know that, I wasn't saying that they are sh!t, but you shouldn't expect Cherry keys quality.

Again, this is not true. Cherry doesn't magically make some better switch, they've been producing the same product for over a decade. It's all cheap plastic.
People should really let go of brand loyalty.

That's what I mean. Their experience makes them better. They have had issues before, which they repaired over time. The chinese makers are still new on the market and unexperienced. The low cost does not come bcs they have shitty quality, but for the fact that they do not invest in R&D, but they just copy the design from the bigger companies.
