I came across "two variants" of Cherry MX blacks on Arrow.com:

MX1A-11NW which operates at 0.58N

and

MX1A-G1DN which operates at 0.45N

They both look very Cherry "black"-ish to me, aren't they? Or are they just the same but described differently?

MX1A-G1DN is an MX Brown part code. Judging by that, and the fact that the actuation forces match, I'd say they just screwed up the picture.

Is there really such thing as "retooled MX browns"?

Yes, the changes that were made to the MX Black have been applied to the Red and Brown as well. Smoother plastic, different stem design (it has the long "skirt" in the back), and chamfered instead of stepped bezel.

Is the tactility improved somehow?
