Picked up one of these, and it arrived (expedited shipping) yesterday. Awesome service, and speedy delivery from from KR!
Having banged on Model M boards for years, this seemed immediately congenial. I have a KUL-87 (MX clears) and a WASD Code TKL (MX greens), and have yet to find them easy to use. They both seem "resistant" to me, not so much on the level of the individual keys, but as an experience. The KUL will be sold, and am on the fence re the Code. But this Topre seems a keeper.
After struggling with the MXs, I was thinking about going for a Model M SSK, but seeing the prices for those suckers, I thought why not try Topre. This combo of 55g, with gray/blue key set seemed attractive, tho expensive, but then again not so pricey in view of the Model M SSKs. So, I took the leap and am quite happy. For one thing the 55g does not seem heavy, indeed seems quite light in view of the greens/clears. Quality (solidity being one proxy therefor) is Tops. PBT is nice, especially in view of the crappy keys on the KUL and Code. I had also tried mx blues (in a Corsair board since returned), and found them almost too light. (sigh) A chacun . . . .
For angry emails, I may, however, have to break out my bs boards, just because the sound effects are soooo satisfying.
Cheers.
