Title: Predictions for 2013 - maybe beyond?
Post by: hoggy on Mon, 31 December 2012, 01:47:02
Filco, Leopold,WASD, Vortex or, err, another company, will bring out keyboards with a phantom style plate that enables the user to change the springs and stems.

Longer term will see the misuse of the phrase 'mechanical keyboard' on ebay to mean a keyboard that isn't a touchpad...

Technically already 2013 where I am but ...

Cherry will come out with a new switch variant, but I predict that it will not be radically different from any of the existing types, and that will make people disappointed.

I predict that Logitech is going to discontinue its mechanical gaming keyboard.

You mean Topre? which is exactly the same as rubber dome, it doesn't just feel like rubber dome, it IS rubber dome.. nothing wrong with that.. But lets call it what it is.

I doubt the Kmacs would come over, they're still not made in large enough quantities, and the aluminum doesn't actually make the board any better....
