FedEx guy just dropped off my RF 87U 55g. DEFINITELY going to need to adjust from MX browns... There's no tactility to the RF board - it's just extremely smooth and comfortable to type on. And the noise of it is very interesting. It sounds like you're typing on rubber caps.

Thock, thock, thock. Rubber DOMES, not rubber caps.

lazerpointer · « **Reply #4654 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 15:59:02 »

Indeed. I really really thought I had Topre switches figured out before ordering this.... I was very wrong! I thought it would be like MX Browns but with more resistance after the tactile bump. It's more like Cherry Reds, but with added resistance after about halfway down, and an overall smooooove feeling.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #4655 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 16:03:11 »

True. It's hard to describe the feeling of typing on Topre switches. You just have to feel it for yourself. Or you can go type on a nice rubber dome keyboard while saying "thock, thock, thock" in your head as you type.

Finally got these when mail service resumed! I've waited so long!

I have no idea why Hash didn't use my real name, but the mail carrier didn't want to deliver it! Hah, that's a unique last name...

I almost crapped myself when this box came in this state...

But look what was unharmed!!!

This is it guys, I'm done. Now I can rest. The looks, the feel... it's perfect.

Props to John for making the dream come true

I got my Model F AT. I immediately took it apart to get the cleaning started. But here is a picture of it right out of the box.

Looks insane, nice purchase. I couldn't bring myself to spend that much but the more I see these the more I like them. Proportions of the storm trooper seem perfect as well.

everything about girldc's keycaps are awesome, just that....
if the stem portion can provide a tighter fit, then it would have been PERFECT

A good day for me!

Dolch PAC 62 and a depth black cherry mx CC.

Man...vintage cherry mx blues feel way better than modern cherry mx blues! They don't even feel like the same switch.

They are more tame...quieter, less tactile. Like a modern cherry mx blue toned down to level 5 instead of 10.

Acetrak · « **Reply #4683 on:** Wed, 13 February 2013, 17:08:44 »

Hey Akimbo do you think the difference in feel for the switches is because Dolch is PCB mounted rather than plate mounted? I have heard PCB mounted feels better for tactile switches

SmallFry · « **Reply #4687 on:** Wed, 13 February 2013, 17:20:26 »

I want a Dolch board someday. Perhaps once the GMK comes around I can pick up the original keyboard for cheaper and put in an Imp controller (HID Liberator for G80-1800's).

Krogenar · « **Reply #4688 on:** Wed, 13 February 2013, 18:00:37 »

Got my first Cherry keyboard today, and I'm loving it. Got a Ducky with MX Greens, and they're great. The actuation force doesn't feel excessive at all. It's also my first keyboard with front facing legends, and it's taking me some time to get used to them in that position.
