I just prefer topre to cherry. Feels way smoother to me and 55g is snappier and smoother than everything except clears. Everyone's entitled to their opinion! :thumb:

Wtf, more than 1 reasonable Topre user in a thread? Where is demik?
Hey guys.
After I've seen how people hyped this keyboard, I wanted to try it for myself. I was in doubts as it's so expensive, but i decided to give it a go since so many people only speak positive about it.
After a lot of consideration, i decided to buy the Realforce 87U Tenkeyless with unified 55g-weighted switches.
Even though I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, I'm going to say it: There is NOTHING special enough about this keyboard to justify spending 300$ on it.
The build quality is good, yes. The PBT keycaps feel amazing, yes. The special "thud" feels unique, feels like typing on butter, yes. But does that all justify the price? No, imho it doesn't. I prefer cherry MX feels to Topre, still.
I wouldn't like for this thread to become a ****storm and a place for arguments. What I would like is hear from topre lovers; What is it that you admire about this keyboard. What is it that makes it THAT much better from MX boards in your opinion?
Mechanical keyboards, for the most part, are a quality of life kind of thing.Hey guys.

Some days I feel like typing on my ergodox clears, then my poker blues; on most days I type on my HHKB Type S. It's all personal preference. It's like saying, why should I spend more on good quality food, when it's just food.
i like topre because topre likes me

Does scotch like you OR is this going to end with all of us shooting each other in the balls in some german basement/pub?
If you try Topre and it isn't for you, then nothing anybody will say is going to change that.To add to this beyond stock switches there are dozens of mods that can change the feel.
It has everything to do with personal preference. There really is no discussion to be had, because it's simple. Some people prefer Topre to MX, others prefer MX to Topre. And still others prefer Buckling Spring/Alps/something else to either Topre or MX

The biggest factor was me was that the Topre had no excess sound.55g Realforce with Type-S stems is the quietest keyboard I've ever typed on. :thumb:

Exactly, that's why I'm asking the topre lovers on this forum about their arguments as to why it's the board of all boards. :thumb:
Too bad he was wrong in that thread..

You shouldn't discount the 55g Topre yet. Unless you've tried it, you don't know it it's not for you =)Hey guys.

I kind of agree that Topre seem expensive. However a decent MX board in the UK like a Filco would be £110+ (I'd buy PBT caps so £150 all in) and a Topre would be £190. The quality over the Filco is worth it for me. MX switches always feel a little cheap to me, modifiers on Topre boards are tight. The switches just feels amazing. Made in Japan so always going to be more expensive with workers getting better pay. I own too many products already where people are stood on for there production so will make this choice where I can. Ethics aside. Topre just feels amazing. I can understand why some would be underwhelmed. But once illusion is dropped and the delusion of reality is dissolved you're left with dat oneness of cup rubber, all just seems so right with the world.
I only have two big beefs with Topre:
1. First, I hate the standard space bar orientation. The angle on it is terrible and bothers my thumb tremendously. I need it flipped or no bueno. [note: I do not encounter this on the Topre Type Heaven]
2. No full size 55g boards! It's been over 3 years(?) since the 103UB 55g was discontinued and only a smidgen of 104 55g Korean keyboards were made.
