PhantomTacoDoes anyone have info on whether these Chinese Topre-clone brands (such as Royal Kludge/Noppoo & Plum/NIZ) are related to their Korean counterparts (ABKO & Hansung)? Are there even more than I haven't listed?
DogeAmazeThey all get pcbs from the same vendor (albeit older boards have older revisions of the pcb) and the switches appear to be identical, though there may have been some changes internally that I'm not aware of. There's also GTune for other counterparts. EDIT: GTune may be Hansung, not sure.
DogeAmazeWhile I have no photos of my own, I've checked on mine and my own Royal Kludge and they had the same pcbs but different revisions. There's also this teardown https://imgur.com/a/POtx0
PhantomTacoI thought that the kludge was a gamer rebrand of the plum, since plum is the company that makes the clone switches themselves, but I could be wrong.
ChaosShallReignPlum isn't the ones that make the switch. It's a factory in China that makes it for several manufacturers including G-Tune, Abko, RK, and Plum
