Recommendations for best portable typewriter of all time? (infosec.pub)

submitted 1 month ago by miguel@fedia.io to c/typewriters@lemmy.cafe

2 comments fedilink

I write primarily on my Royal Futura 800, and I'm looking for some recommendations for what could be considered the "all time best portable typewriter ever". Mechnical or Electrical, under $1500 ideally. What would you folks consider to be the absolute best, by whatever metric? Best typeface, best action, best internals, best ergonomics, etc.

Best typeface, cleanest action, easiest to use, smoothest output, whatever your metric.
