Title: Satisfaction with Topre vs Cherry
Post by: morpheus on Fri, 24 May 2013, 10:06:30: So I want to know fellow GH'ers, which key switches have you found to be the most satisfying and why?

Post by: daerid on Fri, 24 May 2013, 11:09:27: Could you possibly change the thread title to something just like "General Switch Satisfaction"? We really, really, really don't need another "vs" thread.

That being said, I've gotten the most satisfaction out of my 55g Topre purchases. Although the FC660C is creeping up there, as it's currently my daily driver. In the Cherry world, browns are/were my winner, although that might change when my ErgoDox and GH60 get put together as both use Clears, which are a little bit more Topre-like.

So I want to know fellow GH'ers, which key switches have you found to be the most satisfying and why?

Another one of these threads? Did you bother searching, or you just like repeated info?

Post by: AKIMbO on Fri, 24 May 2013, 17:42:54: 55g topres...closely followed by 62g mx clears and capacitive buckling spring.
Title: Re: Satisfaction with Topre vs Cherry
Post by: MJ45 on Fri, 24 May 2013, 18:39:26: I am very satisfied with Topre and Cherry MX but I still need to try some ALPs and buckling springs to be sure about it and form my own opinions on them.
Title: Re: Satisfaction with Topre vs Cherry
Post by: AJCarrington on Fri, 24 May 2013, 19:48:44: Tried the Leo Topre and Realforce...much preferred the Leo. However, still finding myself going back to my MX blues.

Post by: morpheus on Fri, 24 May 2013, 20:08:49: Eep.

I guess I learned my lesson. No more VS threads. Someone please delete this thread and pretend it never existed.

Post by: daerid on Fri, 24 May 2013, 23:32:42: Just modify the first post and change the title, and all will be well :)
