Ergonomic? The keys are not aligned vertically. It’s stupid. Look at the TrulyErgonomic, or the Typematrix, for an ergonomic design.


Everysingle keyboard I ever used has the same misaligned keys. I suspect what's "ergonomic" about it is the shape of the keys. Nothing ergonomic about having to relearn how to type because all the keys aren't where they've always been.

That's because keyboards simulate Typewriters where such key placement was mechanical necessity.

Following is 2nd keyboard I ever used. And no keybord after that had better design. I got mechanical keyboards, but I still missed proper key placement.
You can notice slight concave placement of each row and how keys are angled. No other keyboard bettered this one.

topre realforce hipro should give similar placement to that commodore keyboard

anyway the keyboard good looking
the switch say using "kahil blue" ? never tried before, but from google pages, it said what razer using on their keyboards so seems not any better than cherry or even worse

for switch imho nothing better than topre
like the new realforce that intended for gamers : http://www.realforce.co.jp/products/realforce_rgb/
it have APC (actuation point changer) basically you can change the sensitivity of each key in 3 different level
