There you go, a review of my Model F battleship ^^ . This one took a lot longer to make than the other videos so far; I hope you enjoy it

I does not suprise me one bit how much you like IBM buckling spring over capacitive. And you're not the only one!
Good work.

I really don't think it's possible to compare cross-switch like that but that's just me.

No he means they are to white Alps what capacitive BS are to membrane ones.

What Chyros said: Capacitative BS is to Membrane BS as Blue Alps are to White Alps.

That's the only combination that makes sense...nothing Alps can be anything IBM or vice versa.

Great review!
Man, that sucker is heavy!
That was a nice sound comparison of the M & F boards; I don't think a lot of people realize how much nicer F's are to type on than M's and this should help educate them. Speaking of education, that was a nice bit on the capacitive sensing. It's no wonder this review took you longer to make.
Your last statement had me rolling.
