Topre Realforce R3S TKL Keyboard

Quite, Reliable and Map-able

My goal was a quiet keyboard that had a consistent, high-quality feel and no stickiness. The feel of the Topre switches isn't to my taste, I prefer the tactile feel of a buckling-spring but I couldn't subject my colleagues to that level of noise. On the plus side the Topre switches are EXTREMELY consistent and never stick, no matter what angle I hit the long, peripheral keys such as the "|". So my productivity is better than with buckling springs. I'm also picky about key placement and appreciated the ability to map keys (ex. I mapped the useless "Capslock" to "Escape"). The software provided by Realforce works well once you figure out that you map by dragging and dropping FROM the pick-lists on the bottom TO the desired key depicted above).
