Title: Custom Topre dactyl / advantage 360 kinda board?
Post by: iLLucionist on Tue, 20 December 2022, 05:30:49
So recently some RSI played up. I'm part of the Topre church, but I have to admit, there is no ergonomic Topre. It's al TKL or 104.
I have a moonlander with... I think gateron blacks? and I have just ordered an Advantage 360 apparently with Gateron Browns.

Is there ANY WAY to get a Dactyl / Kinesis layout but WITH topre?

I saw some posts about some people trying custom Topre, but I have never seen those updated or recent new attempts.
Why doesn't Realforce simply release ergo topre... WHY?

PLIES MAKE IT HAPPEN

i think the biggest issue is making the PCB flexible and reliable. I am in the same boat i love Topre but, the ortho split layout is just so more comfy that i sometimes make a trade between MX and Topre. So far i know no one really makes sculpted Topre ortho boards. I can assure you that flat ortholinear Topre boards are getting designed. I think you can get a Topre corn but, it's availability is bad to almost none.
