So each switch will feel different depending on which board it's on but is there any agreement between ideal combos. like would everyone agree that blues feel best on a qfr or blacks feel best on a filco etc...
it would be interesting to make a list like this or a vote of some sort.

It's going to be subjective for every single setup.

Yup, this

Different batches feel different. I have quite a few Cherry 'boards, and blacks feel almost like reds on one of them.

it is red, look closely someone just colored the stems with a marker.

I'd vouch for my filco with blues, it can kick the blackwidow's ass anyday.

Has to do with build quality a lot, difference in plate material like some are aluminum not steel, the thickness of the plate... thickness and rigidness of the casebody which will be a huge factor in feeling on PCB mount in particular. Then the switches themselves as Cherry lists a cN tolerance of ±10 on their springs so some batches really may be considerable lighter or heavier than others.

A 2 pound special from a garden sale can beat a Blackwidow...
