whats different about this model vs what ek has in stock now?
besides 103/104 keys
I think Topre has made some improvements and fine-tuning here and there with the feeling of rubber cup but I don't think anything drastic has changed. Same plastic for the keycaps and spacebar.
Mine is just the standard run-of-the-mill Topre w/ ten-key (ie excellent of course).
EDIT: there is the beginnings of wear on the spacebar, it didn't have any last year when I bought it.
