Guess I never heard of Clack Factory. Seems insane to buy something that expensive which looks like it was done with a 3D printer.

That makes me ill. I put over a dozen of those out for public yard sale at my first job, and then threw them out when no one bought them.

Yeah. It was a tiny 13 station typing lab that I dismantled. We had TONS of the IBM hardware all over though, all sorts of different types of PCs and keyboards. IBMs are they had bought for a decade, then bought nothing at all for years for either staff or labs, then finally started throwing everything out once Win 95 came out. Spent 5 years throwing stuff like that away, kept find more and more of it, didn't get it all gone until the Windows 2000 era.

clacks are the main reason why i can't stand to be on Geekhack anymore, all they ever seem to care about is collecting those dumb stupid skull keycaps, then of course since they have an unmoderated fleebay there are just threads upon threads of "this guy ripped me off".

MX Red is a very light linear switch it is somewhat difficult to not bottom the switch out -- which is why I don't fully understand the point of red. Though I suppose it matters for what you're using the deck for if the Red fits your purpose.
I'm not a huge fan of linear switches in general. I still find the MX Brown the most universally good switch. I prefer Blue for my programming & typing but for general purpose (ie: normal use & gaming) I prefer my Brown deck.
