False Advertisement/Bait and Switch by B&H Photo.

I just purchased an IOGEAR Kaliber Gaming MECHLITE mechanical keyboard from B&H Photo with the understanding that the keyboard came equipped with Cherry MX Brown switches. In fact... On the product page (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1391304-REG/iogear_gkb710l_bn_kaliber_gaming_mechlite_mechanical.html) it claims to come equipped with Cherry MX Brown switches in SIX different spots on the page and is a very large part of the marketing.

 

The keyboard was just delivered to me today... And After removing a keycap I have discovered the board actually comes equipped with the inferior Outemo switches. To be honest, I'm a little pissed. I'm trying to get a hold of customer service, but because of their limited hours of availability (especially considering they're on the east coast, while I'm on the west) has made it difficult to reach someone.

 

It wouldn't be that big of a deal... But when comparing the Outemo browns to the Cherry MX browns on my Quickfire Rapid... The Outemo suck ass. The Outemo's are stiffer, less consistent, noisier, have less of a bump, and the actuation feels lower than my Cherry's.

 

Just thought I'd give people a heads up before they purchased this with the mistaken belief that it comes with Cherry MX switches.
