Picture? What is this black magic. If it's a heavier brown then it's probably an MX Clear.

It's deff gray. I'll take a pic after dinner

yes it is a thing lol

it is not uncommon to have heavier keys for esc and space bar. I even put stronger springs in @Vitalius' keyboard for space bar and esc.

sometimes you will see green switches used for a space bar on a blue switch keyboard, it is the same concept.

I would think they would have used clears
