is nc.com hey guys I got by to the toer

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:18.039
booth I had to check these guys out as I haven't actually typed on a toer in real

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.119
life I know a lot about Toppers but I've never actually typed on one their toer

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.880
real Force boards as we see right here can range anywhere around 300 bucks toer

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:29.320
switches are basically a hybrid capacitive switch that have a spring

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:33.920
under a rubber Dome and they're known as some of the best SES money can actually

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:37.760
buy they have a better gradient weight press down than Reds and blacks do on MX

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.039
Cherry switches you might be wondering why I'm saying this as I own many MX

00:00:39.559 --> 00:00:45.360
Cherry boards I also own a buckling spring I hope to own a toer at some

00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:48.640
point but it's just the fact of it now if we move away from the $300 keyboard

00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:52.879
that is out of most people most people's price points you can get to this one

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:57.640
this is in the mid $100 so you're getting 100 to I think 150 to 180 around

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:01.640
there I got I just got some nods so apparently that's right you're still getting the toer Swit you're still

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:06.360
getting what these keyboards are really really known for but the printing is not

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:12.080
quite as high quality as the old real forces and the Plastics used in this in

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:16.640
the key caps is ABS instead of PBT so what they saved on was actually the key

00:01:14.119 --> 00:01:21.400
caps not the switches which is really the typing experience personally I have

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:26.479
Cherry MX keyboards but with custom PBT caps so I do really really like my caps

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.240
but the cost of Entry of getting one of the new typ heaven toer keyboards is

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:35.640
much much much cheaper than the old real forces and is actually bringing them in

00:01:33.479 --> 00:01:39.759
a more common consumer Market instead of before where they're just very very very

00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:42.920
high-end keyboards this is very very exciting as mechanical keyboards

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:47.240
especially in the United States I'm from Canada but especially in the United States are becoming much much more

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.360
popular you now have another option other than just Cherry keyboards so if

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:55.799
you really like mechanical keyboards but have not found a cherry switch that is exactly to your liking now you can get a

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.479
toer this is absolutely great I'm very very happy to see the typ heaven if you
