Catching up on some recent deliveries...
I got a Data911 board off of ebay. Needed a bath pretty badly.

I found out that I don't just hate MX Reds, I also hate MX Blacks (until I added "MX" to clarify, i was rarin' for a mighty declaration o' racism, hoo buddy). Linear is just the worst feeling, no matter the weight. The rubber guard to the Data911 gives it a
very firm initial push barrier. I just tested it with nickels and quarters and it came out to about 140 grams of weight needed to depress it. I may not like this extreme weight, I'm still using it over the rubberless, no-feedback linear feel. Also, the layout is balls. I keep pressing Tilde when I want Alt, and Alt when I want Winkey.... yeah, okay, it's not the worst and pretty easily remedied with the Sharpkeys utility, but that does a blanket change that alters the key in put of any other keyboard I plug in. But if I don't end up selling it or giving it away, perhaps I'll harvest the PCB and make something custom.
