my first experience is not too bad actually!

At first, I wanna give you a comprehensive answer, but seeing your ADHD, flip flop and attention seeking answers after that...

First of all, don't trust what you read. Everyone's feelings, like you said, is different. So why you wanna trust the words of some guy who is just trying to pad the wiki with words? Learn to differentiate the b/s with words that actually matter.

Topre and Cherry MX have two completely different mechanisms, actuation, response, and for the lack of a better word, texture. They don't call topre "Good feeling with cup rubber" for nothing.

Cherry MX actuates by the contact coming together in the MIDDLE of a downward stroke, and the contact is not infallible, in the sense that if there is vibration on the contact point, the gate will fluctuate between ON/OFF very quickly and have to be corrected with software. This situation (aka hysteresis) makes Cherry MX innately flawed. Fortunately, most of our usage scenario will never encounter this kind of situation (Airplanes, heavy machinery) so it's fine.

However, due to the design of the stems, for all non-linear switches, the actuation point is NOT at the same point where the feedback is given to the user (tactile point/clicky point). While the difference is only about 1-2mm, you can notice this if you try to press the switch very slowly or when you are semi-depressing the button (aka priming the switch for a faster response).

Topre, on the other hand, uses capacitive circuit detection. The difference in capacitance on the PCB is detected and then translated as an ON signal. If you look at the diagram of a Topre switch at work, you'll notice that the rubber membrane's structure is destroyed, causing the potential energy to be released and compressing the spring (which causes the change in capacitance). This means that the tactile response is the EXACT same moment as actuation, and eliminates the need to deal with hysteresis (also, the rubber membrane will absorb a large amount of the vibration anyway) creating an accurate tactile switch. The same accuracy is found on ALPS and on Buckling Spring.

So, this means that the "feeling" and response rate of the keypress is significantly different on Topre and Cherry MX, especially if you are a light touch typist.

ON the other hand, my personal experience is that Cherry MX feels like a robot, while Topre switches are "alive" because they REALLY bounce back at you when you press it.

Sekian, mohon anugerahkan "A+" untuk karangan saya.

!@#$%^&*()

Browns are scratchy reds, TYVM.

Also, buying Hyperfuse? #wink

not in here.

get a hhkb/rf board. use the topre for some time to break in the domes. then you will know the uniqueness of topre. you can put aside all those articles after that. re-sell value of topre boards are quite high so no real worries in letting go a used unit.

I've been using them for quite a while and they're not too shabby. Just that if they offer repack and consolidate everything into one box that would be great.

gets rerouted to some backwater european country then GG la you nanti.

they use DHL. can track and complain. lelele

WoB, never forget.

let us have a moment of silence for the lost WoB...

Situational forced, I love Blue switches as well..

My families and friends couldn't stand against the Clicky blue, so I must change..

3 days into using the HHKB Type-S. It has all the thock and non of the rattling clack. Very satisfying to just type and listen. Very very satisfying.

Definitely one of my favourite keyboard to use.

therefore you need multiple keyboards, one blue switch, one black switch.
u main blue when there's no one around... owai...

can you make a video on it?

ahh! yes pls kaiserreich
we just want to listen to the sound of the silent heavenly thock.

Do you feel like to mod it to final destination 55g maybe from your 55g RF?

Plenty of videos on jewtube already.
It is exactly the same.

Maybe. I already have a Silent RF and a 55g RF. Might switch the domes.
But I won't make HHKB 55g Silent though. That would cost money.

Ya, cost alot of money to complete a HHKB 55g Silent.
So, currently in this forum, only 1 member had it.

I don't understand though. One of the features Borderlinx touted is that they will repack for you. But yet they did not. It's very strange! But on the other hand, they didn't charge me extra. I dispatched my package and they came in two different days, yet the charge remains the same. Hard to figure out how they work!

Hi guys may I know where I can buy the cheapest mechanical keyboard on lowyat plaza
I just want the click feel, no backlight nvm

I know, that's why I said I am agreeing on what they said and commented.
But, they insisted me why I change my opinion suddenly...?
Because I read the wiki, but claimed wrong by people here. So, I just wanna seek a confirmation.
But the logic here is:
When I said 1+1 = 3, I was proven wrong and was corrected by people, taught me 1+1=2, I learned. But, in the future, I can't use this correct way? Because what? You can't apply what you learned?
Learned from wrong, fixed problem, continue with correct way... isn't this correct? Or keep repeating mistakes?

Thanks for the very detail answers.

Happy CNY and Holiday.
