USA V80 Tenkeyless Dolch Quiet Click Keyboard

Had a lot of trouble with key chatter, RMA'd once but the problem came back so ended up relegating this to a backup keyboard. Today it died completely, which is really disappointing given it wasn't seeing too much use.

The KBParadise TKL is a little less stout than the KUL ES87, making it better looking though a little less solid. Still excellent quality. The Matias Quiet Click switches are amazing though, close to a Topre in many ways, but their own thing. The double-shot keycaps feel solid as well, around halfway between regular ABS and PBT. And the Dolch keycaps look great.

I love the really old keyboards of the 70s and 80s, and a passing glance at this beaut would leave you thinking that youve got one of those old hunks of metal. Its very solid, heavy, lots of metal. The Matias key switches are gorgeous to use. Now if only you had a copy of Zork....

Perfect keyboard for an open-plan office. I prefer a lot of tactility -- I was previously using a Filco keyboard from this site with blue switches and O-rings to reduce the noise. I'd tried the same keyboard with Brown switches, but it was disappointing. The V60 has very nearly the same level of tactile feedback as the Filco keyboard, but without the noise. Very cool :)

Purchased a V60 with the same switches a few months ago, had key chatter on two characters, replaced the keys, was alright after that. Then decided to get an 80% and played a lottery, got this one, and, well, I sure was rewarded! With key chatter on four keys. Once fixed (by swapping the chattering keys with the ones which I rarely use, like Pause and Scroll Lock) it's excellent, but I really wish it didn't require whipping out a soldering iron... Rating 5 because this obviously isn't KBP's fault, and rather Matiases, but these switches are a big gamble. A keyboard is supposed to be 100% reliable, you shouldn't ever have to worry about getting double presses or keys not registering sometimes (like Ctrl in my case, which was super infuriating...). No other switch got the same tactile feedback though :(

First of all, I am a very happy with realforce tkl user but I was willing to switch to new key switches.

Unfortunately the keys do not match the topre key feeling in any way. It's of good quality though, very solid etc. but if you're used to topre keyboards it will probably disappoint. I had to send it back and ordered a realforce hipro which again is a different thing from the classic topre keyboards...

Very good customer service at keyboardco with good communication and quick handling of orders.

Great build quality. Matias Quiet Click switches are heavy enough but not too much to be tiring, the tactile bump is great. Super quiet! (Have tried MX Blues, Browns and Clears before)

The included cable doesn't quite fit through the straight cable channel, the side cable channels (left and right) work well.

Hope they'd included a keycap puller to see the switches and hope they could sell an ISO version.

Awesome, I tried some 60% keyboards before, that did not quite cut it. Also I prefer the Matias Quiet Clicks over Gateron Browns(meh) Cherry MX Blues (too loud!).
