HHKB Pro 2 - What's it's weight?

[Fragil1ty]

I'm just curious, this is my second day with the keyboard and although it states that it's a 45g keyboard (various internet sources and what not), it doesn't feel as light, it feels closer to I don't know, 50g maybe 55g pushing it maybe?

Is this just because of how Topre keys feel and the keyboard itself?

Thanks.

I switched today back to Filco from HHKB and reds feel lighter than 45g topre. It's that initial topres resistance making the difference imho.

I don't know. All I can say is that when I use a brown keyboard I feel the switches are too light and make lots of accidental keypresses. But with my 45g topre (HHKB) I do not have the issue.

This post suggests that they are 65g.

And, if you must, the ripometer.

There are two things that will make them seem heavier in comparison to a 45g MX..

First thing is, MX Reds, for example, are 45 at actuation...at startup they're a lot less..closer to 30g.  From there it ramps up to 45g at actuation which is actually halfway down.  At that point you have momentum as well..

Compare this to Topre which is "45g" to get over the bump which is all at the initial stage of pressing down they key. 

The second reason is, from what I can see, most "45g" Topre require closer to 50-55g to actually get over the initial bump...

It also depends on what keyboard you're using...To me there is a difference between 45g on a RF and 45g on a HHKB...sometimes the difference feels very obvious..some days less so...

a 55g topre is definitely a lot heavier than the HHKB Pro 2. I used to have a 55g one, but have a HHKB Pro 2 now. the HHKB is a bit heavier than MX Red as well, which I was using just before the HHKB.
