Realforce 45g vs cerry mx reds

[Fragil1ty]

They're technically all the same, but in actuality it goes like this:

(Light)  MX Red  ->  MX Brown  ->  Topre 45g  (Heavy)

Also Topre domes are stiffer when new, so when you first got it it will feel quite a bit heavier.

But fear not you'll get used to the oneness with cup rubber very fast. 

Yeah this sounds about perfect to be honest with you.

I just recently got a HHKB and I promised I'd stick with it and I can tell you now that I don't want to type on anything other than a HHKB!! I am in love with the feel of Topre mechanism and I removed all thought of it being a hybrid.

Do they feed you in the mind reprogramming camps, or just whip you until you promise to love Topre above all others?

they starve me first, then whip me into oblivion.

My realforce 55g is finally with me I can say only this: 'The best keyboard ever' !!!!

Curious -- how long is the break-in period? I'm about a month of light use into my HHKB and definitely noticed how much stiffer (and cleaner) it feels than my KUL with Brown switches.
