Topre vs Cherry typing speed

<< < (3/3)

Riverman:
I feel like I type slower on a Topre keyboard, but I still prefer them because of the feel and the sound.  In my opinion, there's more to a keyboard than just how fast it lets you type.

If you want a Topre with key legends you can actually see, then either look for a used beige one, or get a new white R3 or one of the R3S models that have gold lasered legends.  I picked up one of those on a recent trip to Japan and it's great.

Tseg:
All I know is I tend to always break my all-time typing speed records using my F77 buckling spring board.   Just did it again this morning.   I go long stretches using Cherry or Topre and plug this one in every month or two and invariably hit a new typing record in minutes.  I try to practice typing speed about 1/2 hour every morning.  I'm still not a fan of the sound, so typically don't use it day to day.
