My new toy!
I tried my best to make it look that way too!

Nice! Can't wait for mine. :thumb:
Hey man! I was just about to PM you but I guess here is a good a place as any to give my first impressions since I am sure other people will be interested.
Before I went to work, I touched this keyboard just to check out the dampening and thought I didn't like it. When I started typing on it, IT BECAME A WHOLE OTHER STORY.
I will warn you however, the keyboard feels MUCH different than my FC660C. It is lighter but not cheap feeling, the keys definitely actuate easier and the switch feels completely different with the dampening. I thought it reduced the travel, but I don't think that's what it was. I think it is just a different keyboard and therefore just feels differently. The sound and feeling of typing on this thing is literally so different, but in a good way. It is very hard to explain, but if I had to describe it, it would be like typing on a keyboard where the plate is a frigin mattress.
You will definitely like it. But I would definitely advise having another Topre board if you love the switch. Either Leopold or 55G to get more of a Topre feel as this feels very different (I know I keep saying different a lot). I know you had an HHKB so I won't go into how fun the layout is.
I would love to hear how it differs from the unsilenced HHKB though because I only had a Leopold to compare it to and it feels like a completely different switch to me.
Also, if you game, then you will love this keyboard. It feels like if Cherry MX reds were Topre. Anyone who said this keyboard isn't good for gaming is nuts.
I will be posted a full review and Leopold comparison on my YT channel this weekend.
