Topre Type Heaven Opinions

[miroslav]

Hey guys,

Thinking of getting a Topre TH to add to my collection. What are your thoughts?

Spend the extra 50 bucks and get a realforce with 55g switches, its well worth it for the upgrade.

Awesome keyboard!  I own two: One full-time at work, and one occasionally at home.

Reasons why:

1. Before we get into "OMG it has ABS" - I prefer the ABS on it as it is easier on my hands over a 8-16hr workday.  The audio demos on youtube are close but are way over boosted compared to real life.
2. It feels ever so slightly more crisp to type on compared to the Realforce; although I still give a slight nod to the 660C.
3. I don't have my 104 in my vicinity but going off memory the TypeHeaven feels slightly lower profile which is nice.  I think it's the lowest profile of all Topre boards.  This is nice (if like me) you prefer typing without a wrist rest.

As far as how I rate Topre:

Topre Typeheaven > 660C > 55g

A huge problem with the 55g is no Fullsize format.  Might be a deal killer for some [like me.]

You can get the realforce in 104 ansi layout :3 I'm still new to topre switches so I don't know about them yet but I think I would like the heaviest topre switch since I prefer MX Blacks on mechanical keyboards over other switches though I wouldn't mind making a keyboard with Super Blacks XD

Not with 55g switches though. Those are the heaviest btw.
