Ladies and Germs, I give you "Mr. Instant Satisfaction". He can't WAIT for a board he's ordered to see what it's like and how it feels, to see what it's like and how it feels.
(for the record, THAT was calling someone out)
:-D

Not trying to be malicious at all. I know you get emotionally attached to keyboards and that your preferences change quite a bit.
I've limited these quotes to your comparative views of the browns and topre capacitive switches. Stuff like this can be confusing as heck for new members trying to get a "feel" for what they would like. As someone who has not touched the Cherry browns, I'm simply looking for some further insight to help frame and clarify your earlier comments.
If you were offended, I am sorry and I publicly apologize.

Actually, I prefer "Mr. Instant Gratification". ;)

The HHKB Pro 2 has more feeling than the Cherry Browns. Plus, the Cherry switches actuate higher up in the stroke as well. The browns are nice and really clean feeling. I sold the Filco because I couldn't get the accuracy I'm accustomed to and I needed the money at the time. It was between the Filco and HHKB Pro, which would you have sold?
The Topre switching mechanism is closer to tactile than the Cherry brown switch, which offers no resistance.

Ok. So classifying the browns as "tactile, but not clicky" is incorrect? If they provide no resistance, they are linear, not tactile. (you did mention that you started to warm up to the Cherry blacks after spending some time with the browns...so I guess that makes sense).
It also means that I am most-definitely going to be swapping the browns out for blues. :)
