I can't speak for every one produced, but a few weeks ago I purchased the TKL version with Cherry Clears off of Amazon, and returned it because of the "pinging" effect going on, primarily when hitting the space bar. Some people won't care about this, but I work in a home office and it became very obnoxious after twenty minutes. I didn't feel like trying to do some workaround to get it to stop. If any of the other models (like the Browns) don't do this, I'd be interested in giving it another shot. I should say that noise aside, the keyboard felt fairly nice to type on.

I personally just want a minimalist TKL without a ridiculous key font, which doesn't seem to be too common. The 4C Das Keyboards seem nice but apparently they aren't Cherry keys, so based on what I've heard, I'm wary.

The pinging effect is due to it being improperly lubricated, not a defect of the keyboard itself. Just in case you were wondering.

If it's doing that out of the box, then the "improper lubrication" is a defect of the keyboard.
