For this week we finally look at a tactile BTC foam and foil board, and one of the successors of the dreaded Amstrad PCW keyboards. Hope you enjoy the video!

the comparison to topre interests me somewhat, I had a linear one of these boards and the feel was utter shit. However, I can see how the tactile feel will cancel out a bit of the "mush". still don't hold out that much hope that these are very good, however I guess they are worth a second look. How do you compare the "topre likeness" to btc's other switch of the time, the dome with slider?

They are less tactile that BTC DwS and therefore closer to Topre. They aren't great switches, just pretty good if you like rubber domes.

Hmm I didn't find the domes in my BTC 5100 (F&F) less tactile than the domes in my BTC 5100C (D&S). Both have those translucent domes, neither feels mushy. I found the 5100 to be noisier than the 5100C, both being noisier than Topre. I still say both these switches are underrated. Nice review.
