I've started with blue, just love the clicky sound of it, but sometimes it's annoying when I concentrate on the sound too much. I wonder how brown feels like? Hmm...

Blue would be a better choice, just from experience.

i use a brown switch, there are couple points that can highlight mech keyboards:

1. you can make cosmetics for the keyboard by changing keycaps
2. less fatigue typing on mechs
3. much more durable than your everyday keyboard
4. sturdier build and is heavier

Ditto the above, plus it last longer than membrane/rubber/scissor keyboard.

Guys, question.

Is Topre really that comparable to MX Switches? Some devil has been whispering in my ear asking me to get one yawn.gif

EDIT: Not trolling, if I see review saying the difference is big, I'll surely get one.

The jump from Rubber dome to Mx Switches is a big jump, and feels nice.
Jumping from MX to Topre, you might not feel the difference at all, at first. The difference is in the more solid, smoother keypresses. Feels like how a proper rubber dome should be made.

As Kai said, the different are not as obvious as you switch from membrane to Cherry Mx,
but as time goes by, the Topre switch will grow in to you slowly,
until you one day when you try Cherry again, you will feel that the Cherry are not so good.

When I use Cherry Mx switches, I feel that they are content and good,
but when I change to Topres, I feel that there are some different that are difficult to describe,
after using it for a few months, I pull out my Cherry Mx red again to type on,
I feel that the Cherry are not so comfortable to type on compare to Topre.

The Topre switches is very unique, even if you tried it, you might not get a hold of how it feel,
people need time to get used to it, and once you are used to it, you will never want to use any other switches.
I'm beginning to think that it is more to an intrinsic value type item. I have the MX Blue, have to say it is sufficient for now, but after awhile I'm beginning to think that something felt wrong when typing with the switches.

Clearly, the design of Topre, which I see apply a quite uniform pressure to each keypress, making the tactile feeling of typing quite noticeable. This is why I asked need the review of all sifus around here, so see either it is reasonable for me to make the switch to Topre.

If you have the money, it's the next step to go after trying out MX.

I'm very tempted to. That's why I'm asking around tongue.gif
