Is the variable version?. It says...."45g +/-15g"..for me that's a variable version.

I don't think that by reducing the price any further you'll attract more client.

It's just a pretty niche keyboard which nobody currently wants. Because the price is just awesome.

Unless you sell it at less than 50$, then PM me xD.

After giving considerable thought to my situation once I sell the 86 I am going to buy a Ducky 1087XM Green Alps and put the left over funds in savings.

Unless MechanicalKeyboards restocks the 1087XM Black Alps I'm done with further keyboard purchases until 2013.

Time to stop your head from spinning for a moment, I take it. Sounds like a smart move.

Good luck with the sale of that beauty.

Do you know how this compares to a Filco red, or Filco browns (minus the tactile)?  I don't really have time to look up that stuff right now as I'm at work, I think i was looking for something like this but never tried topres...

The 45g uniform Topre feels like MX Brown, but much smoother and not so dirty : ) Superior imo

If this is true, I'm heavily considering swapping my Filco and some cash for one...

I love browns, don't get me wrong, but if it's a smoother brown with similar actuation force (45g I think is exactly the same, if not 5g off?) I'm interested.

Yeah, you have to test it. Browns are also my favorite MX switch. But I prefer typing on a Topre.

Browns and 45g Topre switches feel totally different to me.  You really do have to try both and see what you like better.

I agree. Topre switches feel like a smoother version of a rubber dome keyboard, which is actually what it is. You don't have to bottom out HARD, but you do have to press the switch all the way. This is unlike browns, where you feel the actuation point in the middle of the keystroke, before you bottom out. I was, and still am, a big buckling spring fan, so I thought I would always bottom out and never learn to use tactile MX switches as they are intended, but I was wrong.

I'd have to get a RF since my primary use is split between casual typing/gaming. This would be ideal if Topre switches are appropriate for gaming.

There's no "appropriate for gaming".  There's only what you like, and what you don't.  The rest is marketing and superstition.

I'm aware of that, but will it be sufficient for constant starting/stopping strokes? Or is it too smooth/linear-like for that? I'm an FPS guy do I'm constantly adjusting my position and whatnot. I'm not one to fall for the "gaming keyboard/mouse" marketing gimmick, but rather the type that wants to get the right keyboard.
