I bought a $300 keyboard, and it's not even mechanical: Topre Realforce R2 review
In which Reece buys a $300 electro-capacitive keyboard from Japan. Why did he feel so compelled to, and what does it say about the modern keyboard market?
These models stood out against the growing sea of Cherry MX derived mechanicals, and attained a legendary status in the enthusiast community - particularly the expensive Topre Realforce, which was notably described by computer mag Micro Mart as the "Aston Martin of keyboards". This particular "PFU Limited Edition" model is also superbly quiet, with 45g silenced switches, which makes it ideal for not annoying anyone else within earshot, and comes with adjustable actuation points - so you can choose how far down a key has to be pressed before it's registered. That's still a huge amount of money, especially considering what many of the best mechanical keyboards offer for a similar price - stuff like a metal chassis, wireless connectivity, sound dampening foam, hot-swap switches and plenty of software customisability.
