@benedek yes there is a keyboard room, I was already here hahah

bbss11:08:27

I've come to love topre switches, no hate on cherry though 🙂

bbss11:08:35

would still like to try zelios

bbss11:08:40

and matias

shem11:08:22

using HHKB(topre) at work, matias click at home. JD45 has zealios

bbss11:08:36

ah I see!

bbss11:08:54

let me know how the feelios are when you get them

shem11:08:48

yep. it's built and ready, just missing caps. hard to evaluate the feel without keycaps

bbss11:08:39

hmm yes, I found the sound very nice on them from watching youtube videos

bbss11:08:09

I have an hhkb type-s and the BT with normal type. I can't figure out which ones I prefer though :thinking_face:

shem11:08:46

topres are very comfy. i've never tried the silent version

bbss11:08:19

they have a slightly different feel, doesn't matter much though

bbss11:08:34

I've tried out the Realforce HiPro in Japan, they had them as demo everywhere but couldn't find a US layout version 😞

shem11:08:43

looks nice.

shem11:08:15

my favourite keyboard feel is still my IBM model F. it's just not very practical

bbss11:08:36

I have tried it in a museum once, not a joke haha. Wouldn't know how they feel long term though.

bbss11:08:23

they reminded me of my fathers first mac and pc, they also had the metal spring reverb on every tap 😄

shem11:08:20

i did use a model M for years as my main kbd. i like that as well

bbss11:08:12

oh the one I tried was a model M, is that very different from F?

shem11:08:17

they are quite different. F is more refined somehow, and pings more loudly

bbss11:08:56

I'll look out for it 😄

shem11:08:43

this is an interesting project. i have no idea if they are as great as the originals

bbss11:08:27

woah, awesome 😄

benedek13:08:24

ah I should try clicky matiases too
