The last time I dropped by /r/mechanicalkeyboards it was full of people that thought Cherry MX was the be-all end-all rather than just a brand name and a poor substitute for something like a proper buckling spring switch. Is that still the case?
If there's something that exemplifies the thread title, it's this project.
They also have a very in depth wiki on just about any known key switch and keyboard.
I've tried most of the MX style switches, and none come close.
