Several glamour shots, bought this board mostly for collection purposes can't say i exactly love the MX White switch as a whole since only about 10% of them click consistently while the rest feel like a "Broken MX Green?" Is the best way i can describe it.  It's definitely a very odd typing experience feeling the inconsistency between the keys like this though i wonder how they will feel after a long extended break in period if that would change anything.   Guess only time and long term usage will tell.

I cannot understand the issue with Cherry Whites knowing the QC that Cherry has. I too had a 60% with all whites and after about a month I sold it because like you said it felt "broken" to me since the keys were so inconsistent.

@Odd Yeah you would think by now they would figure it out or stop making the switch.

@kekman Yeah i love the look of Midnight and the feel of it being lower profile, my only major gripe though....is how damn thin the plastic is =/  For the prices they charge i think SP should make the DCS profile at least double it's current thickness.

Cherry's QC goes downhill at a rapid rate imho. The difference I felt between 2013 and 2015/2016 Browns should not be that apparent. The 2013 board felt uniform while the newer one had a different feel for every switch which should definitely not happen.
