Agreed... But for me, in Israel, not a cheap shop. $105 + $46.55 shipping + approximately $18 Customs. But, I was fairly certain that this was the only way that I was going to get one of these.

Yes, several times. They're super people. However, the packages usually take about 2 weeks to get to me (sent Priority).

What would you want to "see"? Do you mean an audio of the clicks?

Just to get a sense of how hard you have to push to actuate the key and stuff. And yeah, the audio of the clicks? A lot of comparison videos of Blues vs. Browns around...

Post by: Turbinia on Wed, 12 December 2012, 20:59:25: Ill do a video this weekend when I bring my keyboard home from work. Can't really remember what was different as far as the sound between the boards. I do know that the addition of PBT caps made a huge difference in the sound, and it's PBT so of course the difference is for the better =P. The lab I work in is super loud so I will have to get a better impression of it with the greens at home. I haven't had any issues with fatigue from typing on the greens, You just tend to not bottom out on them if you are used to blues, so you aren't using the whole force of the spring.

This is actually a pretty good video if you know how MX Blues feel:
