Cherry mx green.

I have been using cherry mx blue keyboards for a long time now and I have notice that I bottom out much more than I should. I have contemplated switching over to cherry mx greens, but I do not want to jump head first into those keyboards because I know it is going to cost me a hunk of money. Is there anyway I can test one with out buying it. I have tried an cherry mx red board and I do not bottom out on those as much. So I think if I made a switch from cherry mx blue to green I should be fine on the fact that I should not bottom out. I am scared that if I switched I would get fatigued while typing. If you guys have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. ( I have an Ducky shine 2, Cooler master Trigger, and a Das board)

If you find a way, let me know. I've purchased a set of switches (one of each type) for $15 from www.wasdkeys.com, but green is not among them.

Do you know any place where you could buy just a green switch? I don't think wasd sells greens, and from what I have read on some of cherry boards they might have a green switch. But I do not know, I would really like to pick up like 10 or so switches so I can test them out on my das board.

You said you have a few Mechanical Keyboards already. I believe Cherry MX Blue Switch Mechanical Keyboards have a Green Switch on the Spacebar. You could try that.
