Silent Reds: I was all for browns until I tried out a keyboard with MX Silent Reds. Wow! They don't feel like any other mechanical switch... To me, they felt exactly like the Topre capacitive switches on the FC660C . I was in total shock. Last April, I was in a great keyboard store in Seoul trying out all the major brands and I was totally blown away by a Leopold FC750R with Silent Reds. Doing a direct comparison with the FC660C with Topre switches, the feel was identical! So much so, that the store owner took the keycaps off the FC750R to prove they were really MX Silent Reds! After that, it took me several months (until now) to find somewhere that actually sells bare MX Silent Red switches and has them in stock. I just ordered a bunch last week to build my KBD66 kit with them. They're the only switches for me now.
FranciscoDid you lose your hands in an accident and have them replaced with metal hooks? I'm sorry to tell you, one switch is linear, the other tactile - it might be hard to tell the difference with your disability, but if you still had fingers left, you'd notice that they are nothing alike.
PS. I'm really sorry for your loss, congrats' for sticking with keyboards instead of using dictation software; good on you mate...
