...a 91UBK from a certain great member on this forum though a smooth sale.
I have to say that at first, I was really impressed. I love the brown lettering on the keys (I still want a dark brown keyboard though, heh) and it really does have no flex at all. It's heavy, it doesn't budge, and it's cute yet classy at the same time. The layout is ok with me, I do not have any problem with the Japanese layout at all.
And of course, the keyswitch is the big draw. At first, it felt like I was typing on a cloud. But the more I use it, the more I feel like I am typing on rubber - which I am naturally, but not in the good sense.
At first I typed on it for a few days and the Filco browns felt really light in comparison, in a bad sense, but now I go back to the Filco and I feel great with it. It feels like it has more finesse and snap to it than the Topre. I also like the finish more - the Topre's keys feel like they are made of rubber themselves.
Am I a heretic for having such feelings? It IS an amazing keyboard, and I have no regrets at all buying it. It is fantastic. But I find myself loving the browns more and more.
I am torn!
