Indeed! I liked the variable weighting more than I expected, too. Must dig up my own review, wherever it's parked. (Oh yeah, waiting on picking pictures.) Buckling springs were my base of comparison as well. Topre and IBM are each so entirely distinct, but just as fine to type on. Not different versions of the same thing, but completely separate ideas.fireglow wrote:Sorry about the delay!
I've had this drafted about about ten days now, but didn't have time to finish it up yet.
First of all, I would like to thank OO2 for the opportunity to test this board!
Now here comes my review:
I am totally hooked.
The board itself has a sturdy feel to it, it has a good, solid wight,
and one cannot but get the impression that it is very well made.
I like the cable canal, with which you can route the cable to either side of the shell.
What I found slightly annoying are the LEDs, which I found overly bright.
About the switch itself:
At first I was absolutely blown away, because it felt so smooth.
The typical Topre thock-sound adds to that, of course.
But I've also miss the very clear actuation feedback from, say, a Buckling Spring.
About the variable weight on this board:
I lean towards liking it.
Although there were countless times where my fingers would activate a less stiff key by accident,
it adds to the overall smoothness of the typing experience.
In conclusion:
A great board, a great switch.
My fingers adapted very quickly to it, I could pick up speed and reduce mistakes.
I will try to get my hands on a board of my own very soon
