AthacliathHi Athacliath,
That link is pointing to the silver variation (the reflection between the keys makes it look gold). Silver is about $10 cheaper across the board but unfortunately we need to focus this buy on one color because we cant mix and match colors to reach the maximum price drop level.
I'm using the keys on a poker II on red switches right now and I'm uploading a pic so you can see the difference I mentioned. Everything left of the E, D, and C is silver, everything right of R, F, and V is gold.
Hopefully that makes it more clear,

I've tried them on red and brown switches alternating for about a week so far and I like them more than plastic on both. Texture is smooth but since it's metal there's a lot you can do to alter the texture without compromising the integrity of the keycap.
On reds they make the actuation force quite low. I don't have anything to measure it with but reds with the metal caps are very easy to deal with. Keeping that in mind, I find myself having less accidental actuations than I did on the 45g topre I was using previously.
On the browns, the effect is a little more interesting IMO. The tactile feedback is still noticeable for sure, but I find it much less annoying than I normally do. The additional weight of the metal and the momentum created through the key press makes for a smoother experience that's enjoyable without becoming linear.
Hopefully that helps!

WillI guess an additional question is whether you still enjoy your feeling?

WillA blank set for the ergodox in silver or gold would be hot. Just saying.
