Two Keyboards what would you pick?
« on: Sat, 25 February 2012, 21:04:02 »
If you had your choice of two keyboards.   One Topre and one other key type.  What would you get.  You also have your choice of mods and keycaps.  And if you are fortunate enough to already have the keyboard you can include that detail as well...  This is hypothetical...

You get one of each...  However you can of course decline one :-)

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

Realforce 87U 45g for the heavy lifting and a Poker with Blues to fill in the gaps.  Basically what I have already.

I'd get a Deck keyboard and replace the keycaps because Decks font is horrible.

Agreed.....at first I thought it was kind of cool, but I'm finding myself wanting to change them out now.

But to the point of the thread, I'm not sure. I really like the MX Blacks, but would like to try some Browns very soon. So, any 10 key less w/ Blacks and Browns would be just fine by me.

Desert Island Boards (google 'desert island disks' if the joke doesn't make sense)

If I had to have two boards only then, without hesitation:
1 - HHKB Pro 2 Silent (Topre)
2 - Filco Ninja 87 (MX-Blues)
