As someone with a Topre Realforce and a reproduction Model F capacitive buckling spring, I say that layout matters much more and I use a fully custom ergonomic keyboard (Mitosis layout but not split) with Kailh Box Navy switches, which are good enough.
I'm still faster on buckling spring or Topre though, despite daily driving the ergo. Their lighter force and deeper stroke (4mm versus 3.5 for the Kailhs) just are better for extremely fast typing.
- chana_masala 5y agoI think you've touched on something that I had only experientially known - that increasing key travel to an extent can actually increase typing speed. On the MacBook butterfly keyboards with nearly zero travel, my typing speed is so slow. But on a board with Cherry MX Blues/Red my typing speed increases significantly
- fomine3 5y agoThis is why I leave Realforce. Splitting is far more important than switch preference for me. Then I'm in journey to find best switch,
