Post by: FrostyBunny on Tue, 07 June 2016, 10:55:47

Hi there geekhack.

love the "thock" of topre keyboards but think they are expensive.

Are topre type heaven and noppoo ec108 my only choices?


Thx in advance

There's also the Royal Kludge RC930 (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1434) on mechanicalkeyboards.com, though they're currently out of stock. You can find it on Aliexpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/RK-RC930-series-87-key-Tenkeyless-TKL-mechanical-keyboard-electrostic-capacitive-topre-clone-45g-55g-switch/32461049804.html), however.

The RC is great, but it won't feel like stock Topre as it has basically been dental banded out of the box.

You might be able to find a Novatouch for that. I bought a barebones Novatouch on sale, and even with keycaps (also on sale), I think it was about $150.
