It's been a while since I've done one of these; a comparison video! The vintage MY board was kindly donated by Guk; in this video I compare it to a G81-3000 with modern MY switches. Hope you enjoy it!

This is a good one because the opinions have always varied much on Cherry MY. I think a lot of people believe that all MY switches are equally horrible, I would argue the older black variant is not half bad. I own a G81-1000 HBD new in box, it's actually not too bad. And no, it cannot compete with any MX switch IMO.

Thank you for this review! I have only used "modern" Cherry MY and they're horrible in my opinion. I wonder why Cherry decided to make those switches worse than they were initially.
