You are not alone.
General consensus suggests sticking with a Topre board for a week or two, and then try going back to MX.
You have done exactly that :)
The exact same thing happened to be recently too. I spent a couple years using blues and within the past couple months I've become totally addicted to how topre switches feel
One of us, one of us, one of us...
:D
Just kidding. I'm glad you like Topre! I've been feeling the need to try other MX switches recently though, so be forewarned that your keyboard journey probably isn't over yet!

Haha, I was hoping maybe I wouldn't be spending excessive amounts after this. I guess it never ends, does it? :D
Why is it that I see an increase in Topre posts/threads when I'm having the hardest damn time finding the Topre board that I want? :'(

I received Realforce 87U uniform 45g keyboard today, along with a Leopold FC660M.
Slightly off topic: How do you pronounce, "Topre"?

HHKB! :D

/jealous of rich people. ;D
If i had to choose i would choose the Leopold topre over the RealForce keyboard. The Realforce seems way too expensive and i wasn't that impressed with it. However, the HHKB is my favorite topre.
Welcome to the Topre club :D. I still use my MX Browns on my MACmini ... and when my FC660C arrives it's going straight to my work desk :D.

Are you planning to replace the board with the MX browns with the FC660C?
I have a hard time using the ~60% layouts efficiently :/ but I'd like to have a portable board as well.

The fc660c will go to my desk at work. I have a Realforce RF87u silent on my workstation at home. The filco brown is also on my home desk, however attached to my Mac mini. ;)
When I started at GH I was warned it will be an expensive habit/hobby :rolleyes: I have room for one more keyboard, a unicomp ssk if it ever happens. ;) though I imagine I will end up with an IBM ssk.
The one problem I have with topre is the lack of eye candy, I.e. keycaps in group buys and there is only one place in the west I know of which supplies topre key caps :(

I switched from topre to clears. topre is a little nicer but I like my new board better. I think there might be different grades of mx switches perhaps. as exemplified in the razer bw lol.
butthurt cherry users invade every topre thread. don't take it personal.
it's more flattering than anything.
Funny story.
Binge owns/owned a(previously couple) topre.
Binge stopped decided not to talk about topre a long time ago because people get butthurt all the time.
Binge saw this thread and made a point that this thread is a circle jerk.
Binge saw that this response was obviously hurting people's e-feels.
Binge never said that anyone is stopping the liking of other switches.
Binge merely pointed out that this is a circle jerk. The thread subject is "converted to topre," and after witnessing a number of converted to X religion gatherings it's safe to say that this is no longer appreciation of input devices and the concept of keyboards but instead a circle jerk for topre users. This is not a review... CPTBadAss made a review of switches, shared his experience, and his opinion.
Binge is happily typing on a keyboard, is not sharing what kind it is, cares what you're typing on right now, cares if you love it or hate it, but doesn't give a **** how you rate your keyboards/switches/favorite athletes/genres of music/dongs.
FILDO FOREVER
now I don't think this is a circlejerk. we can like anything expensive. things expensive "tend" to be better and that is why they often command a higher price. the pudding would be if topre was $40. then I bet no one would give a s.. about it. case in point: no one will admit keytronics has a "similar" feel. I am not trying to be a jerk, just saying what I feel. on the other hand I do like the topre feel best myself.
It's not a circlejerk grips, don't worry. It's just that some fanboys of MX and some fanboys of Topre are incapable of forming rational discussions. Instead, they label a trolling everything they see from the other side. i.e. they are such circlejerks they are incapable of seeing the obvious: They are projecting their own circlejerk on others and call them a circlejerk.
grips, its a deck. I just like it overall. the thing is I do like stiff switches and mostly have 55g uniform topre. either switch is stiffer than what many people like.

I am not trying to be a jerk, just saying what I feel. on the other hand I do like the topre feel best myself. so I am not a flamer either. at least compare topre 55g to clears. not 45g.
I like the deck for the flat profile. a flat topre 45g is on the way but I think I will find the keys too lite. I know most people do not like a flat profile either. I cut my teeth on typewriters.
some of the early ones could have been at least 80g.
We Topre lovers love Topre. And we like to express that we love Topre, and we like appreciating that others love Topre and when they express that they love Topre.
Sure it might be a circle jerk, but you could say that in a circle jerk everybody has fun :-D
I only wish Topre were $40...then maybe there'd be enough people with them so there would actually be some choices out there keycaps wise, etc.

I guess it doesn't make any sense to put $40 keycaps on a $40 keyboard.
I don't bottom out Topre when typing. Only time when I sometimes bottom out is when switching from Buckling Springs, but it only takes few hours to fully adjust to lesser activation force. I do bottom out modifier keys (control, shift, option, command, fn) and sometimes enter and delete.

I put $100+ key caps on a $40 keyboard.
I have no idea how people type on Topre switches without bottoming out. It's impossible for me. The snap is just too abrupt.

They don't...With the lighter (30g) keys you can...but with the heavier ones I seriously doubt this...not without typing in a stupid way just for the sake of not bottoming out..in which case you're wasting your time for the sake of something stupid..
