Need to type some more on the Topre Realforce keyboard. Man, is it different, especially with the
ergonomically weight keys. It feels
almost strange, like typing in a breeze.
The key actions are lighter than the Cherry MX brown. This is a quiet keyboard. So, unless I am on purpose banging in it, it’s
just a little clacks. There is almost no
tactile bump that I can sense. It’s
almost like typing on a rubber dome, but not quite either.
It’s like a hybrid between the MX brown and the regular rubber
dome based keyboard. The return action is rather spring like, fairly quick compared to a regular rubber dome. Can’t exactly put my finger on it,
but it’s relaxing to type on this keyboard. The keys do clack when bottoming out, but has a lower, more baritone like note when compared to the Das Keyboard with MX switches. It sounds more akin to a bubbling spring rather than a stony brook when typing something at a normal rate. The keys simply don't wobble or jitter at all during a down stroke.
At first, I wasn't sure if I will like this kind of switch, but it is rapidly growing on me. If I need to unwind, I might just sit and type something. Indeed a very Zen like approach to typing experience. No wonder there are a lot of passionate fans. Opinion about this keyboard is divisive. I am sure some will abhor it because it's feels close to a mainstream OEM rubber dome keyboard and is not worth the price tag while others look at it as an experience like no other. Is it a bit like typing on my old MS Natural Ergo 4K? Yes, it does remind me of it, but at the same time, it's more pleasant, more peaceful somehow. I am slowly becoming more appreciative of its qualities while typing on this keyboard. Man, if it wasn't so expansive, I would recommend anyone to try it as an alternative to the popular Cherry MX switches. Is it worth its asking price compare to the market alternatives? That's the debate I suppose.
