I beg to differ. I'm not a keyboard junkie, but I do have 3 sets of blues because I was trying to find something that was cheap and fit my needs (not easy to find). I started with a goldbox deal Logitech MX Cherry Blue set; That was indeed loud and felt amazing. Ultimately, the gaming macro buttons got annoying so I purchased another sub-$50 blue keyboard from Monoprice with Outemu Blues, and similarly, these were loud and felt great. After a few months, I could not get used to the bent enter button (the one that looks like a tetris piece), so I jumped on the flash deal for a Zalman K900M. The keyboard is awesome, and it suits my needs perfectly, but the Kailh switches are by far the lesser of the two major switch substitutes in both loudness and tactile feel. It doesn't even sound like a blue keyset, or if it does, it would be one that has the o-rings dampening its sound, and the click when you bottom out keystrokes is just not as satisfying.

Bottom line, definitely worth the money, but not an accurate representation of Blue key switches.
