Title: My typing sound video: ALPS silent vs Topre silent vs regular Cherry
Post by: Choker on Sun, 21 April 2013, 19:08:16

I wanted a nice silent keyboard so I bought the Realforce 87u silent and the Matias Quiet Pro, and didn't end up liking either of them so I have to return/resell them, and think I should make a video comparing their sound when I still have them, since I never found such a video before.

Here it is: http://youtu.be/wmGt9eEfN0w (http://youtu.be/wmGt9eEfN0w) , please turn your volume up, it's about:

Matias Quiet Pro
vs
Realforce 87u Silent
vs
Cherry MX Blue Red Black Brown Switch

Actually I have put my Realforce up on ebay for sale, so if anybody is interested in a silent Realforce, it could be found on ebay by searching "realforce 87u". There's yet another video there, showing how I unboxed it and cut the seal on 4/12/2013, along with all the warranty code and purchase date and original price etc.

I guess I should have posted it on the classified board, but I don't have the permission. It's actually my first post on this forum, so I do apologize for it.

Thank you for the video!

Would you care to elaborate a bit why you did not like the keyboards? Which one did you prefer of the two?
