Leopold FC660C to be in the mail soon??? Probably won't be here until later next week though
What am I in for compared to a Realforce and HHKB? Originally, I had planned to get a Realforce 55g but caved in on the 660C.
Edit: My first Topre/Capacitive switch keyboard.
I have not FC660C, but I have HHKB 2 Pro.
Someone said HHKB thocks more, but FC660C feels sturdier.
I must admit that, although very well made, it does seem very light compared to most other keyboards I have.
Yeah, I heard similar things. I actually would prefer the more thock but the HHKB just so much more expensive. Also, I do prefer a heavier keyboards because I prefer a plate for sturdiness, and it just makes them feel more sturdier. However, I heard that HHKB's build quality makes up for it. I guess the light weight may be a plus if being constantly being carried around, which ironically is what I'm planning to do... everyday
) But I guess that doesn't matter because the keyboard will be the only thing I carry in my bag.
When describing the HHKB as "thocks more," does this describe only the sound or also the feel/tactility of the switch? I would prefer the switch to be as tactile as possible, which is why I originally wanted the 55g more (I heard the 55g is more poppy because of the heavier springs). If the HHKB was more tactile in feel, I can only logically assume that the HHKB may be slightly more tactile because of the lacking metal plate which may result in more resonance and vibration through the case??? Maybe I'm just crazy.
