http://deskthority.net/wiki/Topre_switch
In essence, the Topre switch feels first like a refined rubber dome and second in some ways reminiscent of some mechanical-contact switches such as the Cherry MX Red and Alps SKCM Cream Damped.
The switch action is very smooth, with a tactile bump that you can feel near the top of the stroke. After the bump, the resistance is almost flat, making it difficult to avoid bottoming out. You can not feel the mid-stroke actuation point. It bottoms out distinctly with a "thock" sound.
Some Topre keys are very light, which can lead to unintended key activations; this happens especially on keyboards that have differently weighted switches for different fingers.


In short, it's like Linear(like MX Red which is linear too) with slight Tactile near end of each finishing press.

One thing you guys should take notice over here is what you guys always said FEELING.
Feeling is vary among everyone.
But as long as it's logical, it's considered OK.
It's OK to tell Cherry MX Brown is Cherry MX Blue minus the clicky. In technical term, it might not be really accurate to put up this statement. But, in real-life testing, it's more or less that way... Tactile.
Unless, you tell like Cherry MX Blue is the same feel as Cherry MX Red, then, it's WRONG. Because one is full linear and another is obvious tactile. It's like driving a LORRY vs Luxury Car.

why u no trust me in the first place? even the deskthority article you quoted also stated that it has a tactile bump (highlighted in red). and you further add on that MX red is full linear whereas the article you quoted stated that topre is tactile, so comparing the tactile topre vs the full linear mx red IS like comparing driving a lorry vs luxury car.

when normal people like me laying it down for you simple and clear you no feel glad. doh.gif doh.gif why you feel glad that topre is heavy tactile only after quovadis123 stated it?

Just got 1 to 1 replacement for my CM Rapid I mech keyboard for the dead LED. Fuss free. I also got some beautiful Ducky WASD red key caps smile.gif

which shop did you get it from? that's quick for any retail shop to give a hassle free one-to-one replacements. few months ago when the k70 was plague with dead LED issues, most buyers need at least 2weeks of "inspection" to get a replacement. cry.gif cry.gif

I already fixed and posted that, like 11:21AM on 16-2-2015 today.
You asked me where I READ these INFOs... and I showed you. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Topre_switch
I do a lot of postings in this thread and NOT ONLY ONE, so, I suggest you to fully read what I said and replied. I gained experiences from what I read.
So, each posts I do I'll fix whatever I told wrongly in the past.

And, what's wrong with U-Turn? It's not actually a U-Turn here. It's like a teacher corrects you, so, you don't do the mistake again. Eg, you corrected me, so, I know and won't repeat the mistake.
So, for 1st time, it's wrong. 2nd time, it'll be correct.
If I did wrong, and I continue to tell everything wrongly... is that good?

Just because I am new in MKB doesn't mean I don't know what you guys are talking about... where do you think or how do you think I got my Elite tag?

glad that you spent the effort to read up and learn. we are trying to share what we have feel with our fingers and educate with our experience: in this situation, telling you that topre is tactile and comparing it to a fully linear switch is doh.gif, no idea how DT came up with that comparison (with cherry mx red) but the second switch that they mentioned is actually a dampened tactile switch which is somewhat a close description of the topre switch. being an enthusiast is open to suggestion and sharing with others, it's not just about being an Elite or how many stars you have, there are many submariners which have dabbled in MKB far longer with probably only 4 or 5 stars.

Bro, you can't earn Elite with tons of posts and stars, FYI.

Anyway, I just post what I've read, if you don't like it or think it's wrong, then I can't stop you from thinking it.
And, I did provide the link/source...
Like I said before they mentioned it as Linear with Tactile Bump at the end of each stroke.
So, I just follow back what they said, because I am not a super professional in MKB.

I always respect people with experiences. But, I don't appreciate mocking and being full of being an enthusiast. No offense.

learning new things everyday don't we?

you concluded that that topre are "Linear(like MX Red which is linear too) with slight Tactile near end of each finishing press" from "reminiscent of Cherry MX Red and Alps SKCM Cream Damped". so we are telling you that your conclusion is not correct because topre is never linear. i have no idea why the topre was compared to the cherry mx red in the DT article but any users that have used topre before can definitely tell that topre is tactile and far from linear.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29tl4HXiDO4 Linus confirmed topre is tactile (3:59) .

Gateron linears is apparently as good as vintage blacks. So...

My first keyboard was a poker, it is definitely what you need.
Pbt keycap is a plus, lots of customizability 
If you need LED, the led holes and resistor are there, all you need is just to buy some LED and solder.
