Well, due to a mixup from EliteKeyboards in shipping, they sent me
this instead of the Leopold Brown Switches I had ordered. I won't bother you with the details of the mixup, it's not relevant.
I've contacted them this morning but of course haven't heard back from them yet (California is about 7 hours behind my timezone), maybe in a couple of hours. I guess I have two options, either return the keyboard and wait for the one I ordered or keep the Topre one. There's a chance that I can't send it back and keep it no matter what (again, mixup details).
If I'm faced with the first case (keep it or send it back), what would you say I should do? In one hand, I love the sound of Topre switches (heard a lot of sound tests online) and it's great for typing. I'll be doing a lot of coding so yeah, it'll come handy i think. And surely my fingers are itching to try the Topre, I mean I have it right here!
On the other hand, the keyboard is a bit too compact! Although I don't mind the lack of actual F-keys, the Home-End-PgUp-PgDn are pressed with the Fn key on this keytboard and I don't really like that. I prefer them to be where they're supposed to. Also, I'll have to pay 100$ more, it's the price difference of the keyboards. Does a Topre keyboard worth the extra 100$?
Of course I'll have to hear from EliteKeyboards first and decide later, but so far what're your thoughts?
EDIT: Buyer of the Topre keyboard contacted me and we've arranged to exchange our respective keyboards.
