Any switch with plastic and a spring is going to feel different than a rubber dome. Topre being the notable exception.
FILCO TKL Red feels a bit scratchy too, but only noticeable when you press it really slowly.
Can't really the difference during normal use.

Those damn things are just too light for my taste. With blacks I can rest my fingers a bit on the keycaps, while with reds I had alot of mistypes. The stiff, linear feel of the blacks is also better for gaming, double tapping and all that shiz. Gonna try out some browns soon.
Lol browns will feel like something is broken inside the switch, yet I like those for typing as well.
However I think the brown switch is too light for the spacebar.
Well, my new Leopold arrived today and I gotta say browns feel alot better than reds. I like that little bump halfway through, feels nice. Not as light as reds and not as heavy as blacks, just right.

I like blacks the most also. Reds are decent with with o-rings on them. People need to stop saying that blacks are heavy or tiring and admit they they are wimps :D. Cherry black = Chuck Norris switches :D.
