red switch is indeed the "Cloud of boobs" bro. True story  brows.gif

Ah..ok

After some googling, I found this: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cloud_of_boobs
"The phrase "It feels like typing on a cloud of boobs" has been used to describe keyboards that have very light and/or smooth switches. Often, these switches are linear (not tactile).

Examples of switches that have been described as giving rise to this feeling are:

The lightest Topre switches (at 30 cN and 35 cN).
Cherry MX Red switches (linear, 45 cN at activation)."

As you guys know, I offered to sell some Cherry red Esc keycaps from Elitekeyboards earlier in the month. The good news is that the keycaps have arrived - check your PM. The bad news is that a small number of the keycaps have a small and faint white mark. These marks do not look like scratches and they do not rub off easily. I did not try to remove these marks for fear of damaging them. Here is an example:

Has anyone else had this issue with their keycaps?

(If you can't see the mark, look closer at the front side, about 3 o'clock - not the top surface where the Esc is.)

At least none of the keycaps arrived damaged like these, which I gather was from post office stamping:

cant help bout tat...if i want to get a backlited kb now, i wud definitely choose ducky dk9087 year of the dragon coz it has a solid n sturdy built like a filco. But what i don like bout ducky is, its using cherry's stabilizer which kinda mushy when press on it, other than that its really a well built kb.

Red and black is totally different feeling.. red is a lot softer than black, black is like typing on steel, which is pretty hard, red on the other hand, has the nick name "cloud of boobs", I'm sure you know what that means.

I have stuff for sale/trade if you guys are interested, let me know.

I wanna get a couple keycaps, but I can't access taobao due to heavy language barriers. Any recommendation where I can browse pictures to buy?
