is nc.com hey guys I got by to the toer
0:13
booth I had to check these guys out as I haven't actually typed on a toer in real
0:16
life I know a lot about Toppers but I've never actually typed on one their toer
0:19
real Force boards as we see right here can range anywhere around 300 bucks toer
0:24
switches are basically a hybrid capacitive switch that have a spring
0:27
under a rubber Dome and they're known as some of the best SES money can actually
0:31
buy they have a better gradient weight press down than Reds and blacks do on MX
0:36
Cherry switches you might be wondering why I'm saying this as I own many MX
0:39
Cherry boards I also own a buckling spring I hope to own a toer at some
0:42
point but it's just the fact of it now if we move away from the $300 keyboard
0:47
that is out of most people most people's price points you can get to this one
0:50
this is in the mid $100 so you're getting 100 to I think 150 to 180 around
0:56
there I got I just got some nods so apparently that's right you're still getting the toer Swit you're still
1:00
getting what these keyboards are really really known for but the printing is not
1:04
quite as high quality as the old real forces and the Plastics used in this in
1:09
the key caps is ABS instead of PBT so what they saved on was actually the key
1:14
caps not the switches which is really the typing experience personally I have
1:18
Cherry MX keyboards but with custom PBT caps so I do really really like my caps
1:23
but the cost of Entry of getting one of the new typ heaven toer keyboards is
1:28
much much much cheaper than the old real forces and is actually bringing them in
1:33
a more common consumer Market instead of before where they're just very very very
1:37
high-end keyboards this is very very exciting as mechanical keyboards
1:41
especially in the United States I'm from Canada but especially in the United States are becoming much much more
1:45
popular you now have another option other than just Cherry keyboards so if
1:48
you really like mechanical keyboards but have not found a cherry switch that is exactly to your liking now you can get a
1:53
toer this is absolutely great I'm very very happy to see the typ heaven if you
