Hey all,
Currently typing on a Topre Realforce 105U lent to me by The Keyboard Company, and have a new Niz here to hand - literally the first time I've ever used this type of switch, and it feels...rather odd.
I can't actually place my thoughts on these as the 45g force makes it feel like MX Reds but to me, but there's a little more to them if that makes sense. It's unlike anything I've ever used, but I do kinda like it, to be honest.
That Unicomp New Model M I've got though still remains king.
Cheers!
Reece.

Check out viewtopic.php?f=45&t=25640. I piggy-backed onto a review from Go-Kart with my Abko keyboards and Topre Realforce 55g. Summary is that the Nopres feel different from the Topre, but in a good way.

i use an abko as my daily driver and quite like it. Id like to do a dome swap on it at some point to bke redux domes, but that that is a story for another day.

I think that maybe I'll play around with dome swapping and/or different springs in the future, but I haven't played around with the Abko long enough to really want to do this. Aside from the fact that no manufacturer seems to want to install screws in their cases. Snaps. Why does it have to be snaps?
