MX11800 (cherry brown) $17 + shipping

This is just a heads-up: pretty good deal if you want to try the brown MX switches.

Or, since it's PCB mounted, you can swap some black stems in there for that "red cherry feeling". That's what I did, anyway :D

Only own 2 of them here but yeah, they are awesome.
I swear those light-brown switches require less force than the new, dark-brown ones (i have no evidence to support this). better for fast typing IMHO.
Also, the PBT caps are topnotch. like a model M, they NEVER get shiny.
