Good morning, afternoon, evening, or otherwise. My name is Sildeezy (not in real life), check this out doogs.

Leopold is making a 66%(ish) keyboard with Topre switches (it comes in MX too). This is good news for those of you who want a topre board, but like smaller keyboards, and don't like the HHKB's layout (I LIKE ARROW KEYYYYYYYYYYS). Oh, it's also cheaper than the other Topre boards (~175 dollars before import).

Here is a review/HHKB comparison: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42825.0

Here's some pics:

Check that hoe. Group buy on geekhack.org closes tonight @10PM est. Elite Keyboards confirmed to be stocking it, but no ETA.

Cro0Ked_what mx switch would be closest to topre?

Most people say browns.

I don't have any dedicated Fkeys on my kbt pure. It's really not so bad. I mean, most people use Fkeys in tf2 for... changing loadouts? readying before a map starts? It's pretty easy to just hit the FN key for those types of situations.

No MX switches feel like Topre. Topre feels closer to a membrane than any MX switches. It's like a membrane without the mushiness... 100% repeatable with no horrid clacking if you bottom out.

Some people hate Topre because it feels similar to a membrane. Others are enlightened. >:)

semi thread hijack, but do any of you know of any keyboards with the alt key a little more to the right than on a standard layout? I've seen some around but never bothered to remember.

Not sure if it's more off to the right or whatever but there's a space bettween the alt keys.

ROFL. That groupbuy just turned into a keyboard drama thread. Might want to wait 'til the hype dies down around this board... apparently the very anticipation of it slashes at the foundation of some peoples' humanity.
