the placebo is strong.

The placebo makes you THINK you feel some type of way.

oh, you're good.
in some type of way.
--- Quote ---There are those who have tried New-In-Box vintage keyboards that do say that these feel better
than new keyboards.
Broken-in switches are smoother than new switches, though.

but are these people that have heard all the hype behind "vintage blacks"?
you need somebody that has never heard of this to try out both.
it seems like it's a GH must to like "vintage blacks"

I have some normal and vintage blacks (and all common switches) on their way to a friend of mine who has never used a mech keyboard. They are mounted on a cardboard "plate". Will report back, might take a week or so. Also, the difference is not only feelable, it is also audible. I'll make a short video comparison tomorrow.

regardless of whether vintage blacks are amazing, lubed blacks are nearly the perfect switch. and this is from a devout lover factory greens
CPTBadAss:
Other things I learned in terms of keyboards:
- Lubed blacks are incredible
- People really like my KMAC, that makes me really happy :D
- Wcass has THE COOLEST COLLECTION OF MODDED MODEL Ms stuff ever. 60%, modded ANSI XT, cutdown M122?
- Rkinze's R4 SA caps are my new obsession
- jcrouse? craziest collection I've ever seen in terms of Clacks and boards. Hands down the most mindblowingly awesome collection I've seen. 456GT, LZ-SE, Phantom with Litster cases, KMAC Happy...the list goes on and on
- GON and Kaliet have those aluminum-polycarbonate-aluminum cases? Really incredible craftsmanship.
- Qsenn DT-35? Best rubber dome ever. No joke, no troll. I really love that board. Plus I can write "Sifo" in keycaps.
- Beast does really awesome woodworking. If you didn't get that impression before, his stuff is really really nice.
- Grease modded and floss modded Model M's are sweeeeeet.
- LZs are really nice boards. The construction is great and they get a lot of little details right. The angle of the bar, the fact that you can change the bottom plate, the feeling of a plate; all feel great.
- Project Praiano aka the TechKeys Business Card/Controller is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I LOVE it and I threw money at i3oilermaker very quickly.
