Help Me Pick My Next Keyboard Please
« on: Thu, 30 August 2012, 13:28:27 »
So this is my first post on geek hack as I have been doing most of my posting on OCN so please bear with me.

I currently own a Xarmor U9BL-S and am a fan of the brown keys having tried most of the other cherry switches. However I want an upgrade of sorts and have decided between a Topre Tenkeyless keyboard or a Filco Tenkeyless in brown switches. My question is if the topre keyboards worth their money or should I just stick with a Filco and get some custom keycaps and rubber dampeners on it. My main concern is that if i buy the topre I will receive and be dissapointed a be stuck with a 300$ keyboard that I dont want, while I know I will already like the cherry mx brown.

Thanks in advance

One good part about Topre is that they already come with Dyesub PBT, so you won't have to buy a decent set of keycaps from somewhere. I haven't tried Topre, so I can't comment on the price (Which has thus far prevented me from buying it. If only I could try it first... (even the switch try bags are too expensive for me!) )

Another good part is that they should be relatively easy to sell to the healthy Topre following that exists here, and elsewhere, should you not like it.

topre is absolutely worth the money

comfort > goofy keycaps
