@demik: Topre is the iOS of keyboard switches. Expensive, proprietary, locked in, unmodifiable, almost 0 keycap options. Cherry is the Android. Inexpensive, open, easily modified and customised to your own tastes and preferences, huge range of keycap options.
You want something between a 45g and 55g? Too bad bro.
You want to try different keycap profile? Too bad bro.
You like that new thick doubleshot GMK keycap set from BunnyLake? Too bad bro.
You want a PBT spacebar that matches your set? Too bad bro.
Unless you ALSO buy a Novatouch and swap sliders.
You want to type without bottoming out? Too bad bro.
You like one of the
two Topre switch options? Good for you... if the board layout you want comes in that option.
If not? Too bad bro, unless you spend
twice as much so you can do a dome swap.
These are just some reasons that make Browns better than Topre (simply because they're an MX switch). Even though they're still a compromise between Reds and Clears. They're just 2 steps away from perfection. Stem and spring swap and you've got 62g ErgoClears or 62g/65g Blacks.
P.S. - I'm just pissed 'cos I'm still waiting for my milky BroBot that I'm sure I won. I get that, I'll throw away all my MX stuff, buy a HHKB and stop making long and useful posts and instead simply say "Get a HHKB" in every thread.
