It's been a month now. Some of you might be interested in this update, but some of those considering one may find it helpful. Like many have said before, you need to use it for a while before forming an opinion. Right out the box, I did notice a big difference between the Realforce and a regular rubberdome keyboard, but something in my head kept wondering if I was not merely justifying the amount of money I spent to make me feel better. But after a month with it, I can say that I don't regret it. It would not have been the end of the world if I did not get it, but I'm happy I got it. It has rubber dome in it for sure, but the landing is completely different. Most rubber dome keyboards feel mushy at the end of the travel and this is what I don't like, this is what get onto my nerve. The Topre on the other hand, feels different. The landing is not very hard as other keyboards, but it's crisp if I can say it like that. Only recently have I started to bottom out less. It was kind of hard for me to learn not to bottom out. But true to my words, I did not force it and just let it come. Once I started to know it better, I started to make less typos and approach speed closer to the ones I was at on my G80. Now, on one speed test site I regularly types over 90 WPM and sometimes get over. I think it will feel even better once I have my keyboard tray.
That being said, this is just my opinion, someone else's mileage may vary. One interesting thing I noticed though, the more I get a different switch, the more I appreciate what I already had. I guess it's like food, one may have a favourite dish, yet appreciate another one when one has it on one's plate.
