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?

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.
