Topre vs MX

[GeeGee]

Hey guys,
I was wondering which switch is better, because I've only used mx switches so far. I should probably ask what the pros and cons for each switch are, since the awnser most likely won't be as easy as 'X is better than Y'.
Thanks in advance

Thanks CPTBadAss
Appreciate it!

No problem

[Skull_Angel]

The basic TL;DR is that "it's subjective".

[rowdy]

The best one is better than the other one.

Try both.

Own both.

Then get a buckling spring keyboard

I'll do just that. Thanks for the advice

Yeah it's pretty subjective. Topre is pretty much the highest quality rubber dome there is. With MX the highest quality is a tuned, lubed, and stickered switch. Personally i find both to be about equally enjoyable, but with most people it seems to be one way or the other. And just because Topre is a rubber dome doesn't mean it's bad, because most rubber domes are cheap and quite terrible. But then again there are some crappy mech switches too that no one has ever heard of.

I own both, and I can honestly say I like both equally. If you like heavier keys and a nice heavy response feedback, get the Topre. I have a 55g uniform Topre Realforce and it's the highest quality keyboard I have ever typed on. In build quality the Topre is much better than most other MX keyboards. Only one that comes close I think is probably Filco (from manufactured boards anyway).

I can agree to an extent with this. I enjoy both, and there is a strange phenomenon with Topre that is, though the switch is 55g or 45g, it feels a lot heavier if you were to compare it to an MX switch. This is because the massive tactile bump the Topre domes have in their nature. I'll say now my 45g uniform feels heavier than my 62g whites, but it isn't tiring at all. All Topre boards are solid boards that are built to last. The fact that it doesn't rely on contact makes it a board that can last for a lifetime granted you take care of it.

Can we mod them with Korean springs?

They come with Japanese springs that are superior to Korean springs.

What sounds better? Model M with the Japanese springs they come with or Model M with Moded Korean springs?

Anywho, Can I get them in 50g?

Don't be sorry, just search. I think banning someone for asking a question (especially a newbe) no matter how irritating is just wrong.

As suggested read up on the matter.

OR we can use our keyboards outside whenever we want...I always wanted to take my model m camping in case I run across a bear, so I can use it for protection.

I'd rather use it for rowing a boat. Nothing feels better than knowing when you get tactile feedback while paddling.

We can give them out to bears. So they have something reliable to use that looks nice too.

A BS keyboard would make a better boat Anchor than a Paddle!

I must be weird - I use my Model M for typing on.
