Though one may think, The Topre RGB is no toy
« on: Wed, 27 June 2018, 06:24:35 »
Firstly, The CEO of Topre states that "It is our showcase Keyboard". I like it fine. However something I did not even realize that just impressed me. As to it's quality and precision. The middle actuation setting is exactly at the collapse point. How they managed that I do not know but pretty cool. Also the lighting effects(of course when you are not using it) are fantastic. so much more than simply colors. I decided to have dim white and keys turn purple when pressed, red when released. It can actually does all this. That is just the lighting however it is the same quality as any other Realforce board. Put GMK's on it as I did and it is a nice little number. I know it was often said it is cheap or not a real Topre. Contrary. They in fact consider it their top of the line model. AHH, the Japanese....

Is it silent on the up-stroke? Does the space bar rattle?
Don't you hurt your hands on the sharp corners?
Don't you wish the keycaps were thick PBT with the nice texture and profile of the previous Realforce? I type on Cherry-profile PBT all day but I wish I had Topre profile instead.

They could have tweaked the actuation point and used the previous case and keys.

PBT's not cut out for everyone. I used to use a regular PBT OEM set and had a FC660C, but I like the regular ABS on my Raindrop set just fine.
