My new favorite keyboard.
First off, Topre is my favorite. I do own an array of mechanical keyboards that include linear, tactile, and clicky. But Topre is just my favorite for typing. I also own an HHKB Type S and regular, Leopold FC660C in both silent and regular. I also have a Realforce R2 in Mixed weight Topre as well as a Leopold FC980C in 30g.
This is now my favorite keyboard. I have to say I am not a fan of the Realforce R2 or the FC980C. The latter being that I don't like 30g Topre, I feel they are too light.
However, this keyboard is awesome. It feels excellent to type on, looks real nice, and I love the TKL format. I love HHKB, but I find their format to be annoying. I understand the CONTROL button is in a more favorable position, but having CTRL in the lower left is just too native to me at this point. The form factor is on point and this keyboard just feels excellent to type on! If you like Topre, this will be your new favorite keyboard.
