They are nice switches, but I wouldn't really compare them to MX Blacks. I have no idea of the actual force curve but they seem to be a tad bit lighter than Blacks.

Looks a tad bit lighter than black based on the picture of the springs. Use nickles (https://imgur.com/a/r1BNN), for keyboard science!

Hey, amazing coincidence! I just found one of these with ultra-ultra-rare MX Scarlets.

The better question then would be, how would I not know about them when I have more switch types than pretty much anyone in the community? Of course, you obviously don't know me or else it would make more sense.
