45-50g rubber dome
« on: Sat, 22 October 2016, 22:55:43 »
I actually kind of like rubber dome keyboards. Sometimes I prefer them, if they're nice.

Does anyone know of a rubber dome that actuates at 45-50g? More like reds? Decent quality? I have a couple boards but the lightest one I have takes about 57g of pressure, and I actually bothered to check. I've looked at some discussions but I'm having trouble finding information on actuation force. Feel free to correct me if I've missed something. I read someone saying the Dell Quietkey RT7D5JTW was light and high quality, but someone else said it was 57g, like the board I have now, so now I'm suspicious.

Besides Topre obviously because if the question was worth $250 I wouldn't ask.

Let's get this straight. There is nothing cool about keyboards we're all lame as fk.
