Truly Ergonomic 227 vs Realforce 87U Tenkeyless

The 227 is designed ergonomically, so it fits user's hands naturally, making it comfortable to use.

The 227 key layout can be altered: users can move functions between keys as they please. Settings are firmware-saved, so they apply even if the keyboard is moved to a different computer.

This keyboard's keys are arranged in a non-staggered way. This allows for a more efficient, easier typing process.

The 227 keyboard has a detachable palmrest, for hand support during use. This helps reduce harmful strain.

The 227 uses Cherry MX Brown switches, which are very reliable and accurate. They're quiet, soft and give a nice tactile feedback.

There's a version that comes with blank keycaps, which looks great. It also helps learning how to touch type.

This keyboard has large Alt keys, which is useful for key combinations that use Alt.

This keyboard is equipped with mechanical Topre switches that offer a pleasant tactile experience that resembles playing the piano thanks to their complicated mechanical design.

Additionally, Topre switched doesn't feel loose or wobbly since the mechanism is actually attached to a rigid plate that is placed above the printed circuit board.

You will not draw your colleagues and members of household insane while working with this keyboard since the Topre switches produce less noise than the traditional mechanical switches like the Cherry MX-Red or MX-Brown.

Thanks to its tenkeyless design the Realforce 87U is very compact and, therefore, doesn't take up too much space in a bag.
