Thank you so much for your opinion! This is one of the best topre switch description I've read.

It sounds like I would like linear as well, but I've always thought I would like switches with tactile bumps are the early stages. Only one way to find out biggrin.gif

Just saying, I touched type as well but I personally like both topre and light weight linears as well biggrin.gif But the things I'm looking for in a switch is not tactile or linear, but rather how smooth and silent the switch is.
thankyou

right, not all keyboards are built equally. they can be even better after tuning. that's why we spend time to explore options, learn to tune, etc. to make something closer to our expectations.
*
Talking about better after tuning, I realized my new keyboard's Windows key has a faulty key sweat.gif I think there is something wrong about the switch, pressing down feels like I'm brushing something against the wall with a lot of friction and on the release the key might just stay there a while. Quite a bummer since I really like this keyboard and I use Windows key a lot and wasn't expecting it from a brand that is very well known for quality.

Oh yes! I'm looking for how smooth (or generally how nice it feels to type on) and the sound from the keyboard. So far typing on this keyboard's mx red is like typing on creams with very minor scratching. Which brand of Topre keyboard(s) have you tried before? I'm looking to try 30g since the lightest I've tried is 45g laugh.gif

search cherry mx at shopee/taobao/aliexpress. alternatively you can ask to see if there are owners in mymkb fb group that can spare one for you.

what's your board? it sounded like the windows key cap is in contact with the case, and caused this. maybe it's just misalignment; maybe it's something else.

thankyou

Hello horns, yes I have searched through lazada and Shopee... Can see some of them selling but with my limited knowledge, I can't even tell if they are genuine switch...
I search through eBay, 10 x RGB brown switches cost about RM50, is it normaly that expensive?

I got the wireless version but only been using wired mode til now. I think for wireless gaming maybe not too suitable since its bluetooth not rf, correct me if im wrong.
