I used to love apple desktop keyboards.

Then they went to the flat aluminum ones and I couldn't feel the keys. The concave keys were traded in for flat keys and I could no longer center my fingers and feel the edges of the keys.

So I hunted around and tried a bunch of keyboards. mechanical, mechanical knockoffs, clicky, smooth.

I ended up with a topre realforce rgb. Extremely solid keys. Very smooth throw, and adjustable activation point.

The other mechanical keys like cherry don't feel as solid. They wiggle side to side. The topre has a solid base and a cylindrical to guide the keys as they depress.

I didn't want rgb, but in the end I set it to single color dim and I can find the keys in a dark room, which is great.

Later I went back and tried my old apple keyboard and gah it felt like typing on bubble wrap. But I would not have known and I would have been happy if apple didn't change things around.
