    It's really nice to game on, the control location hasn't been an issue at all for me so far :)

    Blank pink? lol you need to be sure about that one before jumping

    Is it worth the money over a cherry mx board btw? Would you consider buying a topre to replace other boards you have?

    I would probably only buy Topre in the future I think, still early stages but I do love it!

    This board is blank so pink would just make it even more awesome! £96 delivered though!

    I hate EK's delivery charges!

    I guess it does depend on the money one has to spend. Any good mechanical board is a nice upgrade over rubber domes and most aren't too expensive. It then depends how big an upgrade topre would be over cherry considering the very big price tag for the caps and board.

    Just pulled some off, they look similar to Cherry caps but maybe a bit steeper...

    Topre just sounds luxurious and understated compared to the loud clack of the Cherry switches.

    Yeah yeah. :p

    As for what goes into the theme, I'll be mulling over one of those Tsagan modifier kits tonight. :)
