I do believe that greens sound the same as blues, they're just heavier. Y'know, when I tried blacks, I really liked them, they felt a lot better than reds, but I felt quite a bit of scratchiness after being spoiled with my Topre board so I'm looking to try vintage blacks. Those would be heavenly on an ErgoDox

Blasphemy! D=
 
Btw I ended getting a Logitech Performance MX. Totally overrated and overpriced. Too large for my hand too.

damn, I could trade like 100 clear switches for 100 vintage blacks and I have lube and stuff already here... VERY tempted! But I think I don't have that many clears, especially after just recently trading a dozen for a doubleshot pbt (OMG!) stoner key...

Overrated ?
Overpriced - I kinda agree

 
Well, it markets itself as ergonomic and all the reviews I've seen rave about how it "fits right in the hand". Well, no, it's not ergonomic at all and it doesn't fit in the hand.
 
For example, there is no comfortable place for the ring finger. It lays on the edge right of the right button. That edge is really not comfortable or ergonomic. The finger ends up laying on the right button alongside the middle finger, making right clicks inefficient. 
 
And then there's the thumb buttons. In order to use them, you need to pulls back your hand so the thumb lines up with the buttons. It makes them unusable.
 
The scroll wheel does not stand high enough. Since the top of the mouse if angled, it is impossible to push the wheel to the right using your index finger. There simply isn't enough to push against.
 
I keep changing the position of my hand on the mouse simply because there is no natural position. That thing was designed for looks, not to fit in a hand.

If you are going to swap in vintage black stems, you should either get one with blue or brown switches because it'll be cheaper.  The springs between the blue, brown and red are all the same.

  Looks good so far, are those keycaps from the QFR?  I'm on the GH60 team so I can't wait for the finalized version to arrive so I can have a 60% again!
