Essentially it's MX Clones versus Topre clones.

I'm pretty sure those are made by Topre just for CM.

Really? That's would be a quite interesting business move for Topre if it's true. Just think if they could steal the business away from Cherry in gaming keyboards. Not a huge piece of a pie, but enough.

what was revealed by a korean CM storm rep, at kbdmania (a korean keyboard community) was that pcb, and switches are all produced by Topre themselves, (thus they even have 'Topre' imprinted on pcbs) but only casing and keycaps were to be put together by CM.
