booth I had to check these guys out as I haven't actually typed on a toer in real
life I know a lot about Toppers but I've never actually typed on one their toer
real Force boards as we see right here can range anywhere around 300 bucks toer
switches are basically a hybrid capacitive switch that have a spring
under a rubber Dome and they're known as some of the best SES money can actually
buy they have a better gradient weight press down than Reds and blacks do on MX
Cherry switches you might be wondering why I'm saying this as I own many MX
Cherry boards I also own a buckling spring I hope to own a toer at some
point but it's just the fact of it now if we move away from the $300 keyboard
that is out of most people most people's price points you can get to this one
this is in the mid $100 so you're getting 100 to I think 150 to 180 around
there I got I just got some nods so apparently that's right you're still getting the toer Swit you're still
getting what these keyboards are really really known for but the printing is not
quite as high quality as the old real forces and the Plastics used in this in
the key caps is ABS instead of PBT so what they saved on was actually the key
caps not the switches which is really the typing experience personally I have
Cherry MX keyboards but with custom PBT caps so I do really really like my caps
but the cost of Entry of getting one of the new typ heaven toer keyboards is
much much much cheaper than the old real forces and is actually bringing them in
a more common consumer Market instead of before where they're just very very very
high-end keyboards this is very very exciting as mechanical keyboards
especially in the United States I'm from Canada but especially in the United States are becoming much much more
popular you now have another option other than just Cherry keyboards so if
you really like mechanical keyboards but have not found a cherry switch that is exactly to your liking now you can get a
toer this is absolutely great I'm very very happy to see the typ heaven if you
