I happen to own a Topre keyboard: Leopold FC660C, the silent version. I don't think it's expensive or a luxury item at all. If you indulge in mechanical keyboards with switches, your expenditures can easily go beyond $250 price ta

Back then (not too long ago really) I'd give you a thesis and you or someone else would give me an anti thesis, and, if anything, call me on my BS. Now we have big tech/media as sources of the truest truth, saving us from doing th
