Speaking of cheaping-down materials, why do the premium boards like Filco et al use plastic housings?
When was the last time you saw a metal keyboard that wasn't a gimmicky special edition? Even Beam Spring keyboards used plastic housings.

Also are there any new boards that use cherry white/clears other than the Deck (which uses them I think)? I'm still in my learning process concerning what I like, and oddly I think I like the firmness of the cherry blacks, but they're just a bit too firm. And why are there so many songs about rainbows?
Not really, Cherry is discontinuing their manufacture afaik... nowhere else seems to be able to get them.

I think one thing thats interesting here is the possibility that topres actually functionally only last 10 mill. Again I hasten to add that in my view 10 mill is plenty. But if thats the case, thats info that is probably worth inserting into the topre wiki, for reference, where we have saved all other aspects of specs for these keyboards.
Or it could all be nonsense... Let's not get too randy just yet.
