Topre HI-PRO?
« on: Tue, 02 February 2021, 01:54:04 »
I have one right here. For the life of me it seems just like the regular 104. Is it supposed to be subtle or something?

It is about keycaps, not feeling.

Yes, it's just an ordinary uniform 45g Realforce, but with special high-profile keycaps.  I've heard very mixed things about the profile.

Thanks folks. Maybe it makes all the difference to someone. I do see that the keycaps are sculpted differently. To me it hardly matters. I prefer the 108 R2 PFU anyhow. Just as long as I put BKE's in it. I noticed that some folks are asking hundreds of dollars for a HI-PRO. I don't understand why but everyone knows I am kind of a tool :)

I almost bought the last one that the Keyboard Company in the UK had for about $250, but they sold it the night before I was ready to pull the trigger.  Considering how polarizing the reviews are, how it apparently can't take normal silencing rings, and how I could get close to same effect by putting SA keycaps on my RGB, which I did, I wasn't too torn up about missing out on one.  People really do ask obscene amounts of money for them now.
