(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

nice shop.

Agreed...  But for me, in Israel, not a cheap shop.  $105 + $46.55 shipping + approximately $18 Customs.  But, I was fairly certain that this was the only way that I was going to get one of these.

Yes, several times.  They're super people.  However, the packages usually take about 2 weeks to get to me (sent Priority).

What would you want to "see"?  Do you mean an audio of the clicks?

Just to get a sense of how hard you have to push to actuate the key and stuff. And yeah, the audio of the clicks? A lot of comparison videos of Blues vs. Browns around...

Ill do a video this weekend when I bring my keyboard home from work. Can't really remember what was different as far as the sound between the boards. I do know that the addition of PBT caps made a huge difference in the sound, and it's PBT so of course the difference is for the better =P. The lab I work in is super loud so I will have to get a better impression of it with the greens at home. I haven't had any issues with fatigue from typing on the greens, You just tend to not bottom out on them if you are used to blues, so you aren't using the whole force of the spring.

This is actually a pretty good video if you know how MX Blues feel:
