Received my V60 Matias Mini yesterday. My favorite form factor is 60%, but this is my first Matias-switch keyboard. Thus far, I am quite pleased. The responsiveness and tactile feedback are better than any Cherry switch I have tried, including blue, green, brown, clear, red, and black. I was glad to discover that with a combination of DIP switch settings and Karabiner software on my Mac, I was able to remap the V60 to my favorite layout, which is the HHKB Pro 2.
The only downside that I can see at the moment is the lack of replacement keycaps. A board this good ought to be fitted with some attractive dye-sub PBT keycaps, preferably in OEM or a similar profile (but not DSA). Until these become available, I will be looking for vintage Alps boards to harvest some good keycaps. Now I am curious about the Matias Tactile Click switch, which some say feels even better than the Matias Quiet Click switch, although it is said to be very loud.

HypersphereThis sounds really tempting, I wish I jumped on it when I had the chance! I really want to try out the Matias switches, but I am not a fan of the Matias boards, but this design is really cool.
You also mentioned the HHKB, how do the switches compare to that? I have heard some people compare them to topre, or a really nice rubber dome.
