More than just about the switches

My initial impressions of the key switches turn out to be intertwined withe construction of the keyboards themselves.  Keyboard construction and design makes a big difference for me.  So, to perform a fair comparison among the switches, I guess I will have to control as many variables as possible.  Of course, sometimes certain switches are not available in the exact same design, but I will just have to deal with it.  So, to give the Cherry MX blue switches board a fair shake against the current favorite brown switches board, I guess I will have to get another Das Keyboard someday.

Again, given the choice, I prefer the construction of the Das Keyboard 4 Professional design.  Someone might find the Rosewill design and build to be what they prefer because it's more compact and it is the standard Filco layout.  I have nothing against that, I just prefer the Das Keyboard at this time.  Who knows, I might end up liking a Filco with blue switches more than a Das Keyboard with brown switches later on after spending some more time with each unit.  So, it's about the whole package.  The switches do make a difference, but there are other factors in play as well.  This is going to be interesting for me to evaluate.
