Type Heaven vs Kinesis Freestyle2 w/ VIP3

Type Heaven's Topre switches have a much quieter, softer sound than the Cherry MX Browns.

No LEDs, no USB hubs and no detachable cables: to Topre, that's just hype. They clearly feel that, with the right product in your hand, there is no need for all those "sideshow features", as they refers to them.

Each of the 104 keys is dark grey with a white, laser engraved inscription. The frame of the keyboard is black, but is slightly textured to give it a matte finish without the "gritty" feel. The keyboard has some hard lines and sharply turned corners, but also has some round surfaces. This combinations makes it quite elegant.

Topre has an extensive line of keyboards, all featuring the company's custom switches. However, the Type Heaven is the first Topre keyboard to be offered at a price this low.

The Freestyle 2 has an ergonomic design, aimed to promote healthier and more comfortable typing.

The wrist support offered by this keyboard alleviates wrist strain.

By splitting the left and right hand of the keyboard and leaving out a numeric pad it encourages users to use the home row numbers as typically taught in American English typing classes.

The left and right side of the keyboard can be positioned independently and tilted as desired.
