I think you may have hit on something.  Keyboards at their various price points use differing build materials and switch manufacturers.  I am very suprised at how quiet these are, but I am a very light typer and laptop keyboards are what I'm used to as well (well, Apple keyboards, which utilize the same concepts).  I'm definitly sold on the reds/linear switches.  Who knows if brand X reds are supposed to be the same as brand Y reds, that would be interesting to discover.

I also find that the key caps fit my finger tips extremely well, so that can make a big difference too.  Personal taste is, well, personal.  :)  Just thought I'd share my experience, having come from Apple "flat" keyboards to a cheap $99 Azio Cascade to this - it's like re-discovering how to type for me.  May not be as profound for others, though.

This is also not the most expensive keyboard you can buy either.  But, if you want a taste of that kind of qualify without paying 2x the price, this is one heck of a good value.
