Title: [FS] Topre Type Heaven - New
Post by: erricrice on Wed, 11 September 2013, 21:29:08
Topre Type Heaven - got it a few days ago, used it and decided it just wasn't for me!

Perfect condition, only used for 3 days.

It's advertised as 45g Topre switches(even in the insert that comes in the box) but I found these to be much heavier - 60-65g measured using the standard nickel test so keep that in mind. This is actually the main reason I don't want the keyboard: it's just too heavy for me to type on daily(I'm a big fan of browns and reds).

$130 + shipping from FL, United States

Hit me up with questions!

Yep, that's the best option for keyboard shipping that I've found.

Man... if this had come up literally like 3 weeks ago, I would've snagged this up so fast (I'm a fellow Floridian)! Just so you know, I never did the nickel test on my 660C but my initial feelings of the 660C, which is also 45g, was that it felt really really stiff and heavy, and I was kind of disappointed. I don't know if they lightened up/broke in or my fingers just got stronger but they feel a lot better now. There are times when I consider trying out a variable weight model to see if that's better but every moment I think that, the 660C seduces me back in :)) However, that is an awesome price! Whoever buys this will be a winner.

Is it just the lighting or something or are those keys looking weird? They don't look straight (2nd pic, alpha keys).

I think it is because he took the pic close up... trippy effect.  Plus, I have seen topre keycaps look a little off from time to time.

Yep, my HHKB for example. One of these days I'll stop being lazy and send it in for repair.
