Very nice hypkx, the keycaps on these are always worth it. What a beast of a machine though.

Is that the first time that those switches have ever been seen in a keyboard?

I have both the black and clear types, and they feel the same and largely contain the same springs. I have no idea how they are supposed to differ, but here they clearly are different somehow. Black I presume is heavier.

To me they feel almost the same (maybe they are same?).
