  • I've been looking for a topre board but I cannot for the life of me justify the crazy price tag for an ANSI realforce. It doesn't help that I'm steadfast in my "only TKL" layout choice, but I've spent way too much money to find out that I just prefer TKL's. So despite trying a HHKB at a meetup I'll never own one because of the layout. I know that buying a realforce from Japan is an option, but ISO-style return is just bleh, I'm too used to hitting return with my pinky. Pretty much all of the boards I've seen on mercari and yahoo auctions JP are ISO-style return.

    It just seems fun to mod something that isn't a MX platform, and I don't really open my alps switches unless I have to. But with topre you can just take it all apart and change the sliders and domes and such, so you could really dial in the board to exactly how you want it. Plus the good feeling of oneness with cup rubber crowd is definitely on the rise as more and more custom groupbuy boards have EC support.

    I just wish the cost for an ANSI realforce was so high, otherwise topre would probably be my daily. But I know how it entitled it is to complain about prices when I have 2 alps custom keyboards.
