How good are the Topre switches, compared to the ones on the Kinesis Advantage (I'm assuming you used 'blue' ones on the Kinesis)? I'm about to get a Kinesis Advantage, and the only con that I could think of so far is that I read here an there about how the Topre switches are even nicer than the Cherry MX switches.
- lytfyre 13y ago> I'm assuming you used 'blue' ones on the Kinesis IIRC, the advantage is actually the keyboard for which cherry brown switches where created.
- sanoli 13y agoYou're right. Somehow I had it in my head that Kinesis used blue switches.
- kps 13y agoYou might have encountered one. Kinesis are diy-friendly and will sell unpopulated PCBs for people who want a different switch.
- lallysingh 13y agoKinesis recently started selling "linear feel" Advantages, which are Cherry Blues.
- sanoli 13y agoBlues? I thought the linear ones were red... I guess I get the colors mixed up all time then.
- TylerE 13y agoTopre's are a bit hard to describe. You can feel the activation point, but there isn't a tactile hitch...but they're not linear.
