Looking for some new clacks, suggestions?
« on: Sat, 18 April 2015, 23:09:17 »
Howdy everyone,

I've been using a QFR with MX Blues for the past year, and I really enjoy it much more than my CM Storm Trigger I had before, but I am wanting to move on with my addiction to newer and greater pastures.

With this in mind, I'm wanting to try out a new switch: either MX Clears or a topre board.

My primary interest is gaming and somewhat typing as I'm an English major and I definitely will be using this board for my papers and any other school work. The two boards I was looking at for my two switch choices are a Cooler Master Novatouch TKL and a KUL ES-87 with MX Clears.

I really don't have a price cap, but I do want a TKL board and the ability to swap caps is not necessary, but wanted.

Am I on the right track with these choices or am I missing something completely that is an obvious choice for my needs?

Either of the nominated keyboards will be fine.

Clears will be much stiffer than the 45g Topre Novatouch, and the feel of Topre is quite different to MX.  if you haven't tried Topre before, see if you can find somewhere or someone to let you try before you buy.

Or just take the plunge :p

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I'm honestly borderline on flipping a coin on it. Worst case scenario, I'll cut my losses and throw the board up on eBay and get the other.
