New here. I've lurked for 2-3 years but apparently never made an account. Just ordered a Leopold and a Realforce so I figured I'd finally register. Cherry MX Reds have been my favorite switches for a long time, but I wanted to give Topre 45g a shot.
Currently using a WASD V2 TKL which is very nice, but the board flex on the top left and space bar areas makes me feel like I could have gotten something a little nicer.
I'm a bit of an audiophile, gamer, and anime fan. Not much else to share at the moment.

Anime fan, eh? I love Yowamushi Pedal to death... was literally on the floor laughing during that Hime, Hime sing along. :)

I actually have not watched that one, but I'll see if I can check out the first episode tonight!

Welcome to Geekhack!
Which Leopold did you get - an FC660C?
If so, going all out with the Topre :)
Also 2 to 3 years is a long time to lurk - what pushed you to finally join?

Well. It's more that Geekhack results would come up in Google searches fairly often when I looked for information on keyboards and mice. I didn't actively browse through the forum threads. I finally decided to join after this latest keyboard binge. I suppose that's what did it.
The Leopold is a FC750R. I am quite liking it. As for Topre, I think I am already done with them. Not because I don't like Topre switches or the Realforce I got. Quite the opposite. The Realforce is easily the nicest keyboard I've ever owned. The issue is that I like the switches for typing, but when it comes to gaming I easily prefer my Reds. The light linear feel just feels nicer to me for gaming. I am not a typist or a programmer. My main home computer usage is browsing and gaming.
I think the main time the Topre would be an issue is when I'm doing early progression in the MMO I play. I play with a rather hardcore group that does 12-16 hour days for the 7-14 days. (unpaid vacation rip) And during that time I think the more tactile feel of the Topre would be most taxing. Otherwise I think it's fine for casual gaming even if I prefer linear.
I've been a TKL fan for years now, but I also have a POK3R on the way because I am interested in going smaller. Considering how little I use function keys, arrow keys, etc I don't think it'll really hinder me at all.
