What is vintage black?

I'm sorry to write in English, although my English is not very good...

I know the vintage black is popular among the Korean keyboard fans. But I wonder how to distinguish the vintage black from other black switches..

I asked my friend, you may know him.. yab8433408, he said the judgement is the typing feeling.

But my another friend said..1. The springs of vintage black are different from others..the color is golden. 2. The cover of the vintage black is different.. the cherry logo is not very close to the slider top..

However, I'm not sure..I found the G80-1000 made in 1987.. i took some photos of the switches.. sprit (from KBD) asked me to check the slider..there is a small hole face to the LED hole.. for keycap connection..

I checked but not all of the slider is the same.. all of them have the small hole but 3 of them are in the opposite direction..

THE MOST DISTINGUISHABLE AND CONSIDERED TRAIT OF VINTAGE BLACK SWICHES IS THE CRUNCHING SOUND (SIMILAR TO SCREACHING SOUND... HARD TO EXPLAIN, WHICH VINTAGE SWICHES DON'T HAVE) WHEN TYPED. IT SOUNDS VERY VAGUE. HOWEVER, IT'S REALLY OBVIOUS IF YOU ONCE RECOGNIZE IT. SINCE THE KOREAN KEYBOARD FANS ARE VERY CONSIOUS ABOUT TYPING FEELINGS. WE USUALLY CONSIDER IT AS A DISTINGUISHER.

아마도 흑축 구분 기준은    0. 키감   1. 키감     2. 생산연도    3. 슬라이더 각인   4. 스프링의 품질  등 인 것 같아요   (제 좁은 소견으로는 구형도 좀 서걱거리는 게 제법 있고,  2000~2006년 사이의 신형에도 상당히 부드러운 게 있더군요. 그런데 그 차이는 하늘과 땅만큼은 전혀 아니에요 겨우 2~3배 차이? )   In my judgment,    0. Feeling    1.   Feeling     2. Year of  Production    3. Markings of  the Silders    4. the Quality of springs   ... (Some Oldies have rough feeling, Some New ones produced between 2000~2006 are quite smooth.  The Differences are not million times, just in 2 or 3 times, in my opinion)

I asked my friend, you may know him.. yab8433408, he said the judgement is the typing feeling. => I think this is the best answer to your question. Springs? Mark? Color? cannot be the criteria! (Quite a few exceptions...)
