Is it bad that I'm less sure how to pronounce it after reading this thread?

The name in Japanese is 東プレ, so it would be pronounced 'toh-pu-ray' with not much enunciation on the u after the p (meaning more like pray).

to̞ːpɯᵝɾe̞

should be correct in IPA. Although there's some variation in the 'r' sound so that might not be right.

Awesome. That's exactly what I figured.

This thread is the evil plot of Cherry MX owners who want to divide and conquer Topre owners
Let them bicker amongst themselves!

Google link kmiller8 posted really does a job correctly if you want to know how Japanese pronounce 東プレ/Topre. Unfortunately no amuse there

Sorry for thread crapping, go on!

I gave you the pronunciation in IPA. Why no love. I wasn't just writing gibberish you know. And since it's Japanese I doubt they've decided on an official English pronunciation. So say what sounds right. Or just try to go with what's close sounding to the original.

I always assumed it was Ta-pray, but after this thread I am starting to question my life. All of it.
