Nice video. I'm going to record and upload the sound of my Leopold with Browns and o-rings. They definitely sound different than your keyboard when bottoming out. I'll post it in this thread tomorrow.

I think both MX Blue and MX Brown are Professional S.  Not sure what it stands for, but one is Pofessional Model S and the other is Professional Model S Silent.

They should've just label it MX Blue and MX Brown but I guess they want to cator towards the casual users that doesn't know the difference  :P

This is my video of typing on Noppoo Choc Mini (Cherry MX Brown)

This one is of typing on Das Keyboard (Cherry MX Brown)

And this one is of typing on Dell rubber dome, just so you can get relative volume levels.

All videos are made with same webcam and volume levels.

They sound exactly like reds to me from what I can tell through the video. How much does the force increase on the bump? Are they like reds to where you barely need to apply any force at all?

The bump is there but it's barely noticeable. I often mistype space just by letting my thumb rest on it. But for alphanumeric keys the bump is pronounced enough.

After the bump, switch is very light, it is (too) easy to bottom it out. What I would like to do is to change spring in space key to something a little harder.

Unfortunately I've never typed on reds so I can't compare.
