Best Topre keyboard

(1/2) > >>

phinix:
What do you think, which topre keyboard is the best?
Typing, visual estetics, everything. But most important typing feel.

keekeen:
After being in the rabbit hole for sometime, I came to a realisation that the best simply does not exist :D
My current fav is FC660C which I have just modded it with aftermarket mx sliders and housings.

ed_avis:
I have to say I don't notice much difference in typing feel between regular HHKB, HHKB Type-S, Realforce 105U, and Type Heaven.  I think the HHKB is the best looking, though -- the others have a plain "office keyboard" feel, while a tiny wireless board looks cute.  I think the white colour HHKB looks better than the black.

ArchDill:
I have never had a good stock topre experience. My personal favorite was always:

hhkb bt, lubed purple silent sliders, 55g RF Domes, I would put little pads under the spacebar to stop the horrible click sound.

I still have this board, but I switched to a normal layout for the sake of work travel and not having to carry it.

TheSoulhunter:
The only Topre-Switch board I have ever used was the HHKB Pro 2.
The reason I got it was the form factor and the esthetics...
Back then there was no other 60% available.

As soon as MX based 60% boards became a thing (KBC  Poker) the HHKB went into storage.
The type-feeling was okay'ish at best. Rubberdome Plop tactility + A somewhat sqeeky case.
It looked sexy, and it improved ergonomics because it was small, but that is all it did for me.


Still got that meme-wallpaper I made in 2013...
