Will blue switches be available?

BReal38Just get the original version from Havit if you want Kalih Blue switches. It is by far my favorite keyboard, and the customer support is excellent (to make up for the bad quality control, they sent me 2 others free of charge and now I have one keyboard that is perfectly fine, one with a scratch on a key, and another with a fiddly button but it still works). Just for this I would rate Havit 10/10, because now I have 3 keyboards plus two "imperfect" ones for the price of one. So it's a gamble, but they'll keep sending them to you until you're happy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722GG88M/

spikespazThanks for your reply! So is the Havit keyboard the same Hermès model but with a different branding?

BReal38As far as I can tell from the picture. Gamdias might have just used the aluminum and plastic chassis and key caps, but put their own switches in there. Or they may have rebranded some other switches, I don't know. It just looks exactly the same as the Havit keyboards I have; the specifications for the switches are different and the brand above the arrow keys are changed.

BReal38The physical switches and casing parts are the same, however, I don't know if the controller chip is the same or not, even though they do use the very similar software for firmware updates. The reason I moved to Gamdias is that my Havit shifted all key positions (meaning press A, I get S, press S I get D, so on) after updating the firmware, and the firmware version was "updated" from 1.6 to 1.2, targeted to 1.8. Basically bricked it, oh if you ask me why update firmware in the first place, yeah, the windows lock key lits up when it's off, and turns off when the lock is on, not an issue for many people, but it did really annoy the heck out of me, hence all the trash experience. I didn't bother with Havit again after since the price is actually more expensive than Gamdias at the time I got mine,

spikespazI have the Havit and it's amazing. Tactile, clicky, and so fast!
