They do exist, and I own the moulds for them. They're branded as "Zealios/Zealio switches" under the enthusiast market.
 
Here's some macro shots I took of the stem vs Cherry counterparts.

Components:

Typing on this baby feels so nice on the fingers. The sliders are buttery smooth (absolutely no "sandy" feeling,), and the bottom out noise is pretty much non-existant. I recorded a short footage of me doing a typing test, but I think my camera was only able to pick up the upstroke noise!
These Gateron switches do not have any wiggle at all when I try to purposely twist the top housing left & right. This actually made it harder to pop the covers off from underneath, but also makes the switches really sturdy. Thankfully the plastics they use is high quality and is quite flexible as well.

Thank you for this! Running from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 really put my 680 on its knees ^_^

Koreans measure their springs by bottom out force, not actuation force. Therefore, springs weighing <50g are actually lighter than Cherry MX Red/Blue/Brown springs (they all use the same springs).

I keep my badges inside the boxes/in a bag together. I personally prefer the cleaner look.

I counted 7 mounting points on the gigabyte board.

So...will they revert YouTube back?
 
You also could still opt out of converting to G+ on YT by just clicking the "X" in the corner of the box.

That was an amazing macro test footage! If only we could see such clarity up close!
And 4k on Vimeo>>>>4k on Youtube

It looks like a direct copy of Silverstone's original AP121s. Pretty sure SS has a patent on that plastic grill/channeling plastic bit.

Nothing. Quality doesn't come at a cheap price unfortunately.

So, what was the convo with the cops like? Any extra footage?

Your spelling and run on sentences are killing me... :unsure:
 
Mentioning Alienware on a Tech Forum = :rolleyes:

The pricing isn't really changing. It's only due to the Canadian dollar depreciating @ $1 CAD = ~$0.90 USD. Exchange rates are usually lower than that with credit cards/banks.
 
Let's take PayPal's horrible currency exchange rate (that includes +2.9% exchange rate fee + $0.30) where $1 CAD = $0.876121  USD. Prices as of March 15, @9AM
$449.99CAD -> $394.24USD
$64.99CAD -> $56.93USD
 
Google's Exchange rate, where $1 CAD = $0.90 USD:
$449.99CAD -> $405.47USD
$64.99CAD -> $58.56USD
 
Well within the fluctuation of currency exchange rates + import taxes.
