It's actually not a membrane keyboard at all! It's a rubber dome switch over a capacitive PCB. Easy mistake to make, but a lot of people assume rubber dome and membrane are interchangeable.

my reaction to the niz plum switches also. just a joy to type on, maybe not for gaming but for coding and writing, super flowy feeling.

Leopold is the best out of the box Topre experience, I own a HHKB, HHKB type S and Leopold Silent. The Leopold Silent sounds and feels the best. And them being way cheaper too you can't go wrong with them, they remain value and are the best pre-build boards quality you can find, also the key caps.

The longer you type on it the more you love it.
Unfortunately there are still no iso layouts.

Thank you for the journey. Can’t wait for the HHKB Pro 2. First time using Topre too.

Once these come out in ISO I might consider them

I would love to try one of these, but have a hard time justifying the cost.

Topre feels sooo good, but sadly I'm to used to type on ortho and column staggered boards so....
And you could build a custom one, some guys did that, but that would be with NIZ switches and for me they don't feel the same like Topre once.
Subscribed by the way :) my fellow Linux user.

Only cons of Leopold keyboards is old micro 5pin USB connector. I'm using their mechanical keyboards as well, but every time I switch to other brand keyboards I have to switch cable too. lso, there are slight difference between original Topre keyboards and Leopold keyboards. Some of reviews in Korea figured out Leopolds make their own rubber dome. They tried to copy Topre's switches after their license was terminated but they failed to copy entire structure of it. So, Leopold decided to make their rubber dome only, not entire switch.
Some say actual feeling is also difference between Leopold and Topre's Realfoce series because of the difference of rubber dome. But there's slight possibility Leopold Use original Topre's rubber dome for Us or Europe markets judging by box says made in Japan.

these switches are what the term "thocky" was meant to describe

The most efficient layout if you dont want fn layers and some really nice switches.

I bought mine but it is brown color. Its great but the only problem is that I accidently pick it up to bite it, thinking it is a chocolate 🍫 bar

I suppose it takes real skill to make such an expensive keyboard look so cheap and plasticky but they sure managed with this one. Dye sub keycaps on a keyboard that expensive is just shocking.

If it actually sounded like it does BEFORE you moved the mic closer to do a sound test, I'd really love it. The actual sound is really rattly and just sounds like everything is loose. The Niz clone of the design I think is much better sounding, like big chunks of chalk running together, deep and dry, no ticking or rattling.

Do you game at all? Because you press space with your right hand.

Hmm. Felt more like a first date as opposed to a first reaction review mid-way through typing experience. Definitely appreciate a more raw approach to a true live reaction.

Did you experience any compatibility issues regarding Linux? I am guessing the configuration software requires windows to run, but did the keyboard otherwise function with Linux or does it require some proprietary (windows) driver to run?

HHKB Type-S Hybrid has the best Topre switch feel. Realforce and Leopold feels the same but very different from HHKB.
