Is this a good way to experience EC/Topre switches? I found it for 40 bucks but then again Topre is so expensive it might probably be a good way to see if it's worth it.

One for each hand, same as ctrl, alt and shift.

They're not the same, though. That's why you have another set bellow them.

i'd say the old thinkpad keyboards (pre-2012) are pretty similar, i knew after using my x220 that i wanted to try topre and it was completely worth it. imo you should just buy a silenced hhkb from somewhere that has a return policy and try the peak form for yourself

t. have spent over $1k on topre boards / keycaps / etc

>>109598867
They don't sell any Topre where I live, importing is the only way. But I did try a bunch of Thinkpads from this era so that's good to know.
>>
>>109598969
if you wanna gamble, you can try importing a used board
or if you take a trip you can buy a used one for 45-60 bucks
>>
>>109598699
i only use a single one of each of those. thus the additional keys are redundant.
>>
>>109601098
They're also not redundant if you can use VIA.

What kind of deranged keyboard layout has caps lock but not esc

topres are mad overrated, i bought a realforce a decade ago and it was so unremarkable i don't even remember what i did with it. maybe i threw it out when i moved

Things get very silly once you reach bellow 60% keyboards.
>>
>>109601631
It is genuinely one of those things that you either love it or hate it. I've seen people coming back to it every time they got something different. Part of it because of the hhkb layout as well.

Spend 150 bucks on a niz plum board and then swap out the domes if the low weight ones aren't tactile enough for you.
