I found this and it comes for 45$ shipping included. Would like to try out. Currently have a Ducky Shine with browns. I love it but i just want to try something different and eventually maybe give it to a friend.
Also i tried MXblue, MXblack and IBM Model M switches in the past so i can compare to them.
Green Axis switches?

Read the DT wiki and you'll see that's not at all a cherry switch.

Not that easy to read the ad.
Those are green XM switches. XM is a clone of the Alps. According to the DT Wiki article, the green XM used by Ducky are 55g and clicky.
I have not tried the green Ducky-XM but the vintage Alps switches that I have tried have had the tactile point much higher up in the stroke than other clicky switches so that it feels almost as if you have to overcome the click to start pressing the key. Alps are known to also have more friction on off-centre key presses than Cherry MX.

OK that's weird. The KSB-LE under the caps lock key is white, and the KSB-C switches (under the other keys) are green. That's the exact opposite of the colours shown on the Xiang Min website and the switches sold previously (white KSB-C in the Filco Zero, green KSB-LE in the Tactile Pro 3). They really do like messing with people's heads.
Note that the force curve of Alps and clone switches makes them much stiffer than force curve figures suggest.
Besides, those cheap keyboards from Ducky have a terrible reputation for short lifetimes — don't buy one.
