You from Villanova? I live very close.

Does anyone have this?  Any experience with mx yellow switches? 

That keyboard doesn't use a Cherry MX switch, but rather a Kailh/Kaihua clone. The yellow switch is interesting in that it is linear with 50g actuation force, putting it right between MX red and black. It's one I'd be curious to try myself, and the price is pretty good considering that it's not shipping from China or anything.

NEPA is northeastern Pennsylvania  :D

Yeah, I guess all these names must only be regionally known :p. Looked into it more, and it uses yellow Kailh switches, which, from an oddly worded review, seems to be a light tactile switch. Here's a review on the board itself (http://apcmag.com/rapoo-v500-yellow-switch-keyboard.htm/)
