Well the problem with kailh switches and cherry switch in terms of build quality is just, and this is even without the act of mathemathical or scientific deduction in use, that theres a variety of friction to each key, not to mention itīs 50g over 45g which is obviously bad since the lower is the mathemathical, sensical and scientifically better. Yes, high-pressure keys can boost release and some people suggest they type worse on tactile or whatever, but if you want objectivity this is the truth and also happens to be what i prefer.
I donīt necessarily prefer build quality like that, but as long as it provides the functionality I require itīs good. It doesnt have to be an extremely expensive keyboard made of expensive plastic of materials, but just build to not be random and bad.
The problem with topre, though the 35g topre keys are promising and considered but everywhere I go the best you can get is 45g topre which does not beat 45g red switches in my world, is that there is not any compact topre keyboards. I canīt emphasize how extremely retarded it is by normal keyboard companies, at least in the gaming world, to keep keys as spread out as they are. Please keep function keys close to hand reach etc etc etc
this is why the keycool 84 layout, so far, beats anything else.
If "lower is better" from a scientific, sensible*, and mathematical standpoint, then wouldn't 35g Topre that you mentioned be--objectively--ideal? You mixed a lot of long "fancy" words to make your opinion seem more real when--in reality--it was just your opinion.
You're entitled to your preferences, but stating a "truth" with no actual sources or references to prove that you're not just pulling these "facts" out of your ass is plain stupid. That's "your world."
Back to the main topic, if functionality is all that you require then what reason do you have to rule out the Noppoo Mini? The layout is essentially as "functional" as the Keycool 84.
I donīt bother projecting myself into the facade of this world. Most people would rather wear a fancy business suit for their business than doing their business legitimately in a pyjamas. This is basically the same principle you follow through your expressions on this forum.
Since 2+2 is not obvious, this is some proof:
1. Keyboard layout is more important than force
- This is due to the fact that there is a noticable - but not crucial - difference between 45, 50, 55 and 60g keys. If function keys which, from my area of keyboard use, are used all the time, are not placed exactly or as close to regular keys as possible, you will have a huge disadvantage due to the fact that 10% of your hand executions requires a palm-liftoff which is extremely exhausting and inefficient.
Trust me, when I say that as-compact-as-possible is the number one priority itīs scientifically true.
2. The noppoo choc mini is very similar, obviously in keyswitch functionality, to the keycool, but they big spring for spacebar, shift, enter etc. are pretty unsturdy, and my subjective opinion suggests that the keycool is what I prefer, not to mention that itīs easier to replace keycaps without risks of killing the stabilizers like I did once with my noppoo, and that was with careful surgical precision.
This means, as mentioned before, that I am willing to use noppoo but Iīd prefer keycool any time, which is what Im directing my topic towards and not why I donīt want to use anything else. The differences between noppoo and keycool is probably 5%, and differences between kailh and keycool is maybe 15-20% from subjective and objective estimates, neither is really a big deal for ordinary use, but I know what I am doing and I just ask for what I ask for.
3. Objectively, keycool has nailed the best possible keyboard layout. Period. It is indeniable that the most compact keyboard possible without spaces is the best possible, and with slightly better build quality due to protective PCB cover and stabilizer cover, it beats the noppoo as well in my opinion.
