Which one did you get?

The full item title is 'V148 UK VA109M V2 CMYK PBT Backlit' (by Varmilo), with Cherry MX Brown switches. Catchy huh?

I chose MX Brown switches over MX Red because they're supposed to need a bit more push and give more of a click wheras red is supposed to have none, as a Sherdogger I naturally have heavy hands so don't want to accidentally press all the keys just by touching them, and I wanted some feedback when I type. And boy, do I have it now. The subtle clicking. The tasteful tactile feel of it. Oh my god, it even has a white backlight with 4 levels of adjustable brightness.

it came with some grey keys to replace the colourful ones if I need to put it 'back in the closet', but I kinda like the colour, gives it a bit of spice without being wildly OTT like some of the weird 'gamer' shit out there.

I also wanted one of the oldschool IBM model M modern repro's but they were sold out, maybe some other time. That might be a bit too chunky and clunky even for me though...

That's cool. I've heard of the brand before, they're supposed to be good. Mine is from Ducky. Same layout as yours, full size plus the 4 keys on top of the num pad. I use Gateron Silent Reds (came with MX Speed switches pre-installed) but I have left the MX switches for some keys like WASD and teh spacebar, backspace etc. So it's like a Frankenstein hybrid.
 
Question for @rj144 @dirtypablo and other STEM folks: Is it normal to have dreams about Kalman filters or is it a sign I'm losing my sanity?

For background, the last time I saw a Kalman filter was like 25 years ago in a control theory class for engineering. I haven't seen them or worked with them in any way since I finished school over 20 years ago.

Watched Dinner in America a couple of nights ago and I still have this song stuck in my head, lol. Could be worse I guess.
