Topre somewhat close to Logitech rubberdome? *facepalm*
Meh... I just feel Topre is too "inbetween" mechanical and rubberdome. But like I said earlier I enjoy typing on Topre but it just doesn't suit me for gaming.
Some people can't get over it being somewhat similar to a normal rubber dome..that somehow that means it can't possibly be good...
Some people see beyond that...
But either way, you don't have to like it..If by you saying they feel too much like rubber dome means you don't like the way they feel..that's fair enough..but to me Topre feel very solid, very well made, smooth and you get this oneness you just don't get on a normal rubber dome keyboard...The G15 feels like junk in comparison...nowhere near the stability or feel...
But I do agree with you on one point...I don't like using them for gaming...Something doesn't feel right mashing them in gaming...but for typing they're really fantastic...they make my Cherry boards feel a bit cheap in comparison....and I love using my Cherry boards...
Well, when you're in a community that can typically agree that rubber dome keyboards are for the unkempt and unwashed masses and comments like "topre are just rubber dome" get thrown around, I can see how that can be taken as someone saying "topre aren't any good"
Bluntly, this ends up boiling down to someone trying to denigrate someone else's choice to justify that their own choice is the "best" one. You see it essentially everywhere there's a major choice involved, consoles, cars, cell phones, computers and other expensive things that start with the letter "c". Now that I think about it, you see it everywhere two people can make a different choice, even silly things like coke vs pepsi.

Honda Civics are really close to Mercedes Benz, because they both use rubber tires.
A more apt comparison would be Hyundai vs Lexus. A typical OEM cherry board (Hyundai Sonata (good mid-size sedan)) isn't going to have quite the same feel(but still be better than it could be) as a RF or HHKB (Lexus LS series (better mid-size sedan)) , but spend similar money and that difference ends up getting less noticeable (As you've mentioned)(Equus vs GS)
