Hello, GH!

[Vague]

It's too late for my wallet.

I've owned a few mechs, but I have yet to try a lot of switches and customization. So far, I've used:

IBM Model M 71G4644 (rubber dome from 1995)
daskeyboard 3 (mx blues)
CM Storm QFR-i (mx browns) - Didn't get much use out of its backlighting, it's now fitted with a Ducky PBT blue/grey set
Pok3r (mx browns) - Splurged on Dolch DSA on the recent return to pimpmykeyboard and wanted a nice 60% to go with

Now I'm awaiting the arrival of my first Topre experience, a Realforce 87u, 55g uniform. Hopefully I find it as enjoyable as some others have expressed, although I have read an equal amount of hate towards Topre. I'll have to judge it for myself.

..I've already placed an order for one of martinyeah's 70's colors three-tone caps, to put on my Realforce, and it's not even here yet!

Welcome! The disease is real. If you end up enjoying the RF87U you might as well throw away the wallet, you'll never need it to store money again.

Hello, that is quite the assortment. I'm starting to believe people when they tell me to go straight to Topre!

Topre is love. Spread the love. It feels really good, the thock sounds amazing, the boards are solid. HHKB and/or Realforce 87U.

The only worry you have is whether you want black or white.

You will eventually end up with both.

True story. I already have black and white HHKBs.. Only thing remaining now is a white 87U. My wallet hates me.

I got the 87U in black and white so we're covered . If I could do it again,  I would get the 10th AE edition instead of the white.  Maybe that will be your next purchase? Hehe.

Nice.. 10th AE.. that one comes with blue and grey caps right? And variable weighting?

Welcome to Geekhack!

The only keyboard you'll probably want after the RF is an HHKB

Or a real buckling spring keyboard.

The more keyboards the better - one for every occasion )
