Review of Orange 6.25x BAR
Had it for a few hours now..
The color is more "red" than I expected, towards "salmon" Luckily, I enjoy salmon. But for anyone who was looking for a Yellow-Orange, bright-tangerine, this is not that.

The sound on my green spacebar switch, it gives the key a distinct
metallic firing pin sounds like I'm pulling a trigger to an Unloaded gun.
The finish is quite good, very smooth.. somewhat anxious, as I don't know how long this would last.
The feel, it's significantly heavier than my regular white pbt space bar... if I put it on a regular blue switch, there's a little sagging, No- noticeble sagging on a Green-switch..
An older-blue-mx switch may have trouble resetting under this much weight.
So, all the Red and Brown people might consider a stiffer spring for their SB switch as well..
My typing rhythm is definitely affected, as the key travels back at a different rate.
The texture is very smooth. I could see this being an issue if you have 'wet thumbs", but visually it's fantastic.
Finally: Mad-rops to Feng and MKC for bringing us such quality KB paraphernalia...
Below is a picture of it in "reverse-typing-orientation"
