you topre guys are starting to get to me.

I've been using this 30g uniform for the past few months and I haven't realized it but it's grown on me! I think I need to switch back to model F before I join the light side completely.

Just stay with the Topre board, and enjoy typing bliss. Granted I've never typed on a Model F. I've heard it's pleasant. Currently I can't get enough of this Novatouch with these thick PBT caps on it. So wonderful sounding.

30g waaay too light :p

But yes, Topre definitely grows on you.  I typed something on my HHKB earlier this morning and my fingers just flew over the keys and it was a complete joy to use.

I don't really recall ever experiencing that with an MX keyboard.

I bought an 87u 45g uniform a month ago... quite honestly its been so amazing that I stopped looking on GH for "bigger and better". I haven't touched any other KB since. Now granted, I'm a noob... but I can't imagine it getting any better.

After seeing thread after thread about this, eventually I'm just going to cave and buy topre.   :rolleyes:  And even if I dislike it, I'll already be so convinced that it's amazing that I'll fall in love with it...somehow.  :))

Make sure you get an actual thorpe though and not a cherry mx thorpie

If I ever do pull the trigger, I'll probably just grab an HHKB.  Always loved the layout and form factor.

Welcome to the light side :p

Which keyboard, and which weight switches?

HHKB Pro (not 2). I believe these are stock weight? Hasu hooked me up with this.

Glad to see you satisfied with the deal :D

I went on a Thorpe buying spree back when I was just starting to get into keyboards....though I love Topre, I'm always on the lookout for MX Clear.

I started with a KUL w/clears... I used it one week and it's been in the box ever since.
