Want to try Topre!!
« on: Sat, 06 October 2012, 20:37:12 »
i would really like to try Topre switches.  if anyone has a spare board they're willing to lend me for a few days, it would be much appreciated. i will pay for shipping to me and back of course :p   will also of course offer insurance, but im not sure how!! PM me with an idea if you can think of anything!

i will even consider a small renting fee or something along those lines.   PM or post and we can iron out the details.

Thanks :D

Since you're in cali, you could try to meetup with other cali members and test one out, but if not, that price is probably one of the best prices for a topre keyboard I've seen in a longgg time. Even if you didn't like it, you could sell it for 15 dollars less and consider that your renting fee.

There was one recently, so I doubt there will be one anytime soon.

I'm in the middle of modding a pair of custom weighted Realforces. I can set up some switches in 30g, 35g, and 45g for you to try if you're ever in LA.
