Type Heaven vs Hassium Pro 108

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.

This keyboard uses Cherry MX switches, which are premium switches: long-lasting and solid. The Blue, Brown and Red varieties are available.

Light can turn on and dim-off on a per-key basis and there are laser beam, ripple explosion and breathing effects available. These affects can be self-programmed.

Both white and blue LED backlighting is available.
