Darn, that's a shame. I'm looking to sell or return mine, then hold out for a possible one in the distant future then - I'd love to see the prices on TKL brown switches go down a little bit. The cheapest ones I've seen are the Leopold (drawback being Cherry stabilizers) or the QFR (drawback being current logo plate), and those are both >$100 taxed/shipped to CA. Crossing my fingers that it'll happen some day, I mean, keyboards with reds have dropped like mad more recently.
Thanks for all your help Carter!
