Title: Hi Peeps
Post by: Wuzadi on Sun, 19 July 2015, 23:12:17: New member here, also been lurking the forums for the past week :)

Seems like an amazing community going on and would love to join!

Currently have a Ducky Shine 3 TKL with mx blues and have a Vortex KBTalking One with mx whites on the way.

MX blues to whites - that's quite a jump! Any reason why you're getting such a different type of switch?

Topre. HHKB only board worth buying. Good to see other LA people joining also!

Post by: Wuzadi on Wed, 22 July 2015, 22:17:42: I'm interested in eventually trying out Topres, what would you say is the biggest difference between those and cherry mx? Damn there seems to be quite a few LA peeps here :D

Post by: demik on Thu, 23 July 2015, 00:16:18: I find topre much more enjoyable to type on. Especially 55g real force topre. Mx is boring. I don't have to do anything to a topre board (at least not 55g rf) to have a great typing experience out of the box. Sure the customization of cherry is good for some people, but topre just works for me.

Also the hhkb layout is my favorite.

Appreciate the great response. I'm thinking of keeping my cherry board for home/gaming use and grabbing a topre for the office since I'll be typing all day. I'll definitely look into a 55g rf or mess around with others. Thanks again Demik
