Realforce 108US, 30g uniform Topre (non-silenced).

I had to try 30g Topre.  :-X

Next up might be the HiPro as I really want to try it... not sure when that might happen though.

It's a bit early to tell as I haven't had a chance to do a lot of typing on it yet and I'm still adjusting a little to the layout...

But initial impressions are that it's a very light keystroke. You have to be a bit more precise with your typing as pressing adjacent keys is very easy to do, and you don't always feel when you have. I suspect most people would find this keystroke to be too light, but I actually think it's kind of nice. You can just float along and fatigue doesn't seem to set in.

The sound that it makes is very similar to other Realforce keyboards for the most part.

The JIS layout is actually fine in most respects -- the small spacebar hasn't been an issue, nor even the small backspace or ISO enter key. The only thing that trips me up is the small right-shift, which turns out I only rarely use... I keep pressing the key next to it now, which doesn't actually do anything when you have the keyboard set to U.S. English. I might just use a remapping software to make that key right-shift as well and call it a day, but it's manageable.

The legends also aren't always accurate in U.S. English mode, but that doesn't bother me as I never really look at the legends except when initially placing my hands (if that). For example, the brackets are on the 8 and 9 keys rather than 9 and 0 -- but they still operate on 9 and 0 if you have it set to U.S. English as I do.

I might do a full review in the 'Reviews' section when I get a chance to really use it a bunch. I'm really curious to try the Hi Pro though too and I'm not sure I'll be able to justify having a 6th Topre board... so I'll have to see how that pans out.  :-X

Part of me wishes my Pro 1 was that yellow

Having a mostly white Pro 1 is great but there's something I love about they really yellow ones.

Hmmm maybe you wanna trade me?  :p

I actually kinda like the yellowed case too; it gives the board some character.

I thought I would only like it because of the state and that it is older but I fell in love with the detachable navpad. Can't do without now :)

Honestly I think I'll end up with one high end mx board and just a stock pro 1.

The HHKB is just the perfect keyboard.

I have to say I kind of regret starting out with a HHKB Type-S. From there I got a Pro 2 (installed Hypersphere's rings), and a Novatouch (also installed the rings on this). I'm really happy with them. But that also means I never really got to experiment with Cherry or ALPS switches... Maybe later.

I build mx boards because they're pretty and easy to make unique due to all the difference switches and plethora of keycaps, but I don't use them much. I enjoy customizing and using my topre boards much more because it takes effort and patience to track down exactly what I want.
