I have not tried with other brands (because I do not own any other switches), but the manufacturer said Kalih switches will not work on this keyboard. I use them every day for long periods of time. Maybe I got a bad one? I enjoy how I can move the light around as well depending on where I need it. After this period, these have proven to be much more detailed than expected. i was super ocd about what i wanted in my next set of headphones as I am a music industry professional (producer/engineer) working with club/rave music and trap/hip hop so a lot of bass heavy material, ill unload my thoughts on these after owning them for about 3 weeks, forgive me for tangents i may stray off on. Great product and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! They are extremely comfortable, sturdy, but not too heavy. I really like the AirPods charger because I was always forced to remove the case in order to plug it in. I wrote to the supplier and they replaced with pieces that snapped together well.
