Topre only goes up to 55g. Unlike MX, which has a tendency to go up in weight as you go rarer, Topre tends to go down. The lowest Topre weight is 30g.

However, Topre is also very inconsistent, so theoretically you could make a 60g sheet out of the heavier domes from 55g sheets.

I never understood all the praise for Topre until I tried a Realforce. God damn it's smooth. I also prefer 55g.

If the weight of domes varies slightly across the board, it would be reasonable to assume that some would be a little over 55g and some a little under?

If so, you could theoretically collect all the domes a little over 55g and make a 58g or whatever keyboard.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

If you are open minded enough to try a Plum switch board there are 62g versions both in tenkeyless/fullsize RGB rebranded under Hansung Gtune in South Korea.

55g Topre is highest weight.
Typing experience is just phenomenal.
Dont expect to game on it for too long, I can feel the fatigue after 3 hours of gaming.

I should've just said the variable, which I happen to have. The variable silent isn't available anymore. I also have the 87U 55g. It's a great keyboard, but I hardly ever use it. Too stiff for all day use.
