Pros
Pro Quieter than Cherry MX Brown switches
Type Heaven's Topre switches have a much quieter, softer sound than the Cherry MX Browns.
Pro Functional to use keyboard
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.
Pro Aesthetically pleasing
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.
