Vintage or no?

I found someone selling what theoretically should be vintage browns (from a '94 G80-8100LRCUS) but neither he nor I are positive. Here's a picture:

Not really sure frankly, the logo also seems to be kinda high up

Browns were introduced in 1994, so if they are from 1994 they are obviously vintage browns.

As far as I know there is no way to clearly identify if they are vintage or not except from the board manufacturing date.

The main question is: Do they feel any different?

+1. If the difference in feel isn't noticeable, why bother searching for them?

I don't have browns anymore but clearly, it feels way better on vintage boards than newer ones.

Though, I always wondered if it really was due to the age of switches or just to their previous use.
