I signed up for it, because I'm curious how a green MX keyboard feels (I normally use a buckling spring, but have tried black and brown, and have blue and clear on the way).

I know, I am wasting my money on some of these switches, but until I try them all, I won't know *which* switches are a waste of money. :) And once I know, I can focus on my favorite!

MX green feels very nice, but is lighter in both feel and sound than a buckling spring keyboard (I have both).

There are more aftermarket keycap sets for the QFR than for a BS keyboard.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I have the cm storm tester on the way (from mechkb not cm's own store lol still sold out). Or you can just buy everything and post fs the ones you regret. I think most increase the weight of the switches as you get accustomed to them from membrane so you see a ton of blue to green or brown to clears.

Just bought one now, how could you ignore GREEN switches in a TKL format?

Thank you for the link buddy,  to the MassDrop fiends wanting to promote what's available there, much appreciated  8) .
