So I bought a Z15 Silver Linear keyboard and went to look today at the replacement switches, and they are the brown switches.  I already put in a ticket but curious if others were having that issue.

It's as intended. You get the silver switches on the keyboard and then you get the 8 bronze "clicky" switches that you can replace for like the arrow keys or WASD keys if you want to have a slightly different feel to them. Jacob went over this in the Youtube video at about 2 minutes into the video (147) EVGA Z15 Unboxed and Worldwide Giveaway! - YouTube

The ones that come with it should be good for 70 million clicks per switch so it’s the ones that come installed should last a lifetime. Only thing that I could see damaging one of the switches would be a liquid spill or if a new superior switch came out.
