Nice, big AND usable. This doesn't happen too often...

I prefer ABS because even though it gets shiny, I usually prefer the texture of ABS to PBT.

Bonus points if you can program the screen to display something cool... Like processor temperature.

That display needs to read...DT rules. :mrgreen: Or just "Deskthority". ;)

Those keyboards have MX clears and dye-sublimated SP caps, if I remember correctly.

Huh. The photos I found showed MX Blacks. Dye-sub LED window 1/2 caps? Sexier than I thought.

Edit: I just broke the 600 post mark. Jesus, I've been spending a lot of time here. Thanks for putting up with me. :D

I know a guy who worked at pinnacle and he remembers those having no bump at all so probably all MX Blacks.

Take a very close look at how the legends have their own shine. Most notably the Page-Down button.

Flickr works like shit on my iPhone, so I can't look closely myself, but beware flash! All sorts of things can "shine" in bad lighting.

Hmm that's close to me, anyone know what those Key Tronic ErgoForce feel like? Might be worth it. Variable key weight like Topre RF I guess.

Thought about buying it because I think it will be pretty nice to type on it. But it's ugly.

I've heard that the ErgoForces aren't too bad. I'd like to try them out once just to see them.

So it's 200€+ when Realforce is written on the board and a free giveaway when it's Ergoforce ?

Only the connaisseurs at Reddit will be able to tell the difference :)

As loathe as I am to defend anything about Reddit, I dare say any Topre fan could tell the difference. Also their mom, any younglings with keyboard touching privileges, and possibly some of their pets.

Topre's aren't linear. Big difference from these guys.
Topre's don't actuate at bottom. Big difference from other domes.

Definitely not Topre!

In my experience, cats aren't picky. Whichever keyboard is getting attention, is where they wanna park.

Of course not, that's a CATdome, get the cathairs for free! The feline is cheaper than Topre, unless it's a JAPcat of course. :lol:

Nice cable. Looks like it was wrapped around the board tightly and stored that way.

I am really OCD when it comes to keeping cables nice and neatly coiled and that image is just painful to look at.

They might as well have used a rack, how barbaric! :x
