Different color switches on the same board?

So basically MK got these in:

For the 9087G2 Pro, they have the Blue/Green like keymaster mentioned, and the Brown/White (I'm hoping it's clear tbqh) in the picture.

Has anyone got experience using a Hybrid board?

Do you find it a bit odd having higher pressure levels / mix of tactile and clicky?

I have the brown +white for a week now, it's my first mechanical keyboard, so can't said the difference with  other switch, but overall feels nice.

I made my own "hybrid" board with clears/ergo-clears/greys, its nice, and I will refine it as soon I get my hands on some 62/65g springs....
But for the Ducky: I can understand having stiffer switches at the bottom row, but why on Shift? Its usually pressed with the weakest finger (pinky), no?

I think they have the 'ergonomic' factor backwards.  The stabilizers already feel stiffer than the other keys; then they add stiffer switches to those.  Maybe not so much the space bar but I bet the pinkys would disagree on the shift keys, enter, and backspace.

Exactly what I was wondering ;) I can imagine for gaming where you aren't toggling actions that use those keys - out of choice or necessity - that could get pretty fatiguing
