I'm going to keep it, I really like it and I was wanting a new Alps board. I take if you've tried them? How do they compare to the other linear Alps?
I forgot to comment on the comparison:
So I've pretty much tried and currently own all the major linear switches with Alps: Yellow, Cream, Brown and Green.
Green is the lightest. Very smooth, but very airy and light. I can see people wanting something a little bit heavier.
Yellow is a little bit heavier. It's around 5-10g heavier than SKCL Green but is a big underdog most people don't care for. It's a nice switch, but I'm happy with SKCL Green and Brown.
Cream is a jump up from Yellow and it's a bit heavier. It's cushiony and feels almost as heavy as SKCL Brown.
Brown is the heaviest linear switch that you can found across a keyboard's alphanumeric keys. It's probably my favorite linear, but I like green a lot too.
So yeah, you're dealing the the heaviest linears. I use a SKCL brown spring in an SKCM Blue switch for my space bar on my Orion TKL. I don't mind uniform springs on any other SKCM blue board I have, but on the Orion, I have to have a heavier space bar spring.
Here's the weights I noted for the different switches. Used a roll of coins. I don't have a fancy weight system.
SKCL (linear) Brown - 75g
SKCL (linear) Cream - 70g
SKCL Yellow - 65g
SKCL Green - 52g
