THanks for posting!

I've attentuated the bass a bit in this video at the request of some viewers who found my natural voice to be too booming in the lower frequencies. Please let me know whether you think this makes the video better or not.

Did I try Orange? Aren't Alps Orange close to Salmon? Salmon is easily my least liked Alps switch.

That's hard to believe as black alps are literally shit. Orange alps are better than salmon imo, oranges are kinda nice but salmon is not a good switch for me too.

Like the deep voice as always.. i don't think my FC660C Topre feels mushy i tried the Novatouch when it was sold in shops and did not like it almost gave up on topre. Until someone told me it's a whole different feel than the Novatouch. And indeed it is day and night.
Also i like that i can mod my FC660C with Hyperspheres lube them with sum SuperLube oil and crease and have a awesome sounding / feeling board.. My second somewhat favorite switch are mx-clears.. i lubed them without de-soldering just the slider rails and feels and sounds a bit better but i'm afraid de-soldering is a must for a real feel...But then i would want to tryout Zealios Zilent

My favorite keyboard prior to 2017 was the Apple AEKII I had back in 1990, and now I understand why it was so good.

However, nowadays I'm addicted to Topre, and I find that they are just "snappy" enough to suit me while being nice and quiet at the same time. I have yet to find a combination that feels or sounds as good as SA or MT3 keycaps on a silenced Realforce RGB or pad-lined Norbatouch.

Nice vid, my man!

Have you ever tried undampened cream alps before, Chyros?

I'm waiting for Realforce to come with a nice TKL or smaller 66-68 key RGB Topre board..perhaps 55G or like my FC660C 45g..
and i'm all over it.

who knows perhaps in a year or two. i don't know how well the "Realforce RGB" is doing

I gave him a handful of switches but I dont believe he ever got a full board of them

Nope! I had hoped to get one of those NeXT boards from that big batch, but the seller used the same picture for all his listings, so there was no way of knowing whether you would get a good one, and I really only want clean ones or it'd be unrepresentative.

HELL NO. Sick and tired of so many tiny TV remotes, pretending to be keyboards here.

Just want a FULL-Sized 104 or 108 55g Thorpie-based keyboard. A serious keyboard for all those that NEED something decent from Realforce instead of this insane, wishy-washy garbage with leds installed.

Hope it fails LARGER than one of my post-christmas dump's in the can. Whoa, that would indeed make that so-called gas dump in Salisbury, look like one of my gaseous releases after some pepto .
