Kickin' it in the East Bay!

en route to Silat

As far as the switch weighting goes my preference is by far 45 and then 55. I didn't really like the lower weighted switches and thought they felt too mushy and much less tactile.

Hmm I think one day I'd like to try Topre if you could set it up to come to Canada.

Josh Nath · « **Reply #53 on:** Thu, 05 April 2012, 20:25:48 »

I'll take the keypad with me to New Belgium Brewery here in Fort Collins

for the people who don't know what that is it is the brewery that makes Fat Tire.

I received the Topre Teaser late yesterday afternoon. I will be passing it on to Mr Nath on Tuesday morning.

Just an FYI - I'll be out of town for work until 4/19. Not sure the current status of the tester, but figured I'd send an update.

hey never got a PM from you about who to send this to next

silat · « **Reply #67 on:** Mon, 16 April 2012, 21:43:58 »

May I recommend that an email is sent to the sender of the Topre Teaser from the receiver when it arrives?
And Nath did you find the present in the package?

Yes I did and thank you for the pin. It's pretty cool.

Also I am waiting on Lmnr to message me back with his first and last name so I can ship it out to him. Sorry about the hold up.

Well its my season ticket holder pin. Been a ticket holder for 25+ years or so..

Lmnr · « **Reply #71 on:** Thu, 19 April 2012, 00:11:30 »

Kinda eager to find out what the mighty Topre is like..

wiredPANDA · « **Reply #72 on:** Thu, 19 April 2012, 08:23:08 »

hashbaz - you can pull me from the rotation, instead of just skipping me this once. Looks like work is ramping up and I'll be travelling for awhile.

hashbaz · « **Reply #73 on:** Thu, 19 April 2012, 12:47:24 »

Will do, sorry it didn't work out. :-/

o2dazone · « **Reply #74 on:** Thu, 19 April 2012, 13:36:22 »

glad this is going well so far, hope we get some converts from those immature cherry switches to boards that are for adults

cherries = flirty intern at work
topre = the woman you want to come home to after a long work day

BossBorot · « **Reply #75 on:** Wed, 25 April 2012, 02:12:33 »

Any updates on the current location status of the tester? It seems like it has been awhile since the last update.

hashbaz · « **Reply #76 on:** Wed, 25 April 2012, 02:17:18 »

Yeah it has. I've been busy with the moogle kit buy and haven't been paying attention. USPS.com says it was delivered to Lmnr on 21 April.

Lmnr · « **Reply #77 on:** Wed, 25 April 2012, 14:40:42 »

can anyone send me a pm of the info on the next person?

Guys, wtf is going on with this? Post when you send and when you receive. We have to keep this thing moving. :laser:

Nolliepoper should have it now. Just sent him a PM.

AKIMbO · « **Reply #83 on:** Mon, 14 May 2012, 13:05:38 »

Here's the Topre Tester hanging out with a new Filco Ninja TKL (mx reds).

My impressions of Topres...Holy hell they are some heavy switches. Every single switch felt heavier than a cherry mx red switch, this is even true for the 30g topre switch. 55g topres were my favorite though it felt almost sluggish. Maybe the bounce back of the switch after actuation is slower than a cherry switch? Topres are suprisingly mushy, very analgous to rubber domes. Cherry switches are still my favorite switch.

The Tester has been mailed off to the Number J.

The three I use the most are the red Leopold, the blue Rosewill, and the Realforce.

I just got a 45g 87U, and I expect it will largely replace my variable 86U.

Do you prefer the reds to the blues?

Not really, no. I like both of them a lot. If I really had to choose just one favorite switch it would probably be blues.

Ah, I forgot to update the thread. Akimbo sent it out but due to a USPS mishap they delivered it back to him. He's sent it again, tracking number 0311 2550 0000 5816 9824.

Welcome to the West Palm Beach post office. Do you like how they had to process it 3 times before they shipped it off to the next post office?

For some reason the tracking number I got from USPS doesn't seem to be working. I'll check up on that later. Either way, I sent the tester off to f4d3 yesterday.

I think someone must have put a USPS curse on the topre tester.

I think so too -_-. Somehow the number that I ended up getting isn't even in a valid tracking number format...
