As much as I hate to admit it, I have come to love Topre
switch based keyboard. That means a lot
of money sunk into a keyboard that’s close to a rubber dome, rather than a true
mechanical switch keyboard such as the Cherry MX. I really enjoy using Cherry MX based keyboard
as well. I love both the MX Brown and MX
blue. I most certainly enjoy my time
with the buckling spring. It’s so much
fun to drive a few people nuts with that board.
Sometimes…. So, I am not that
picky to be honest. Then again, please
no variable force keyboards please. I
simply cannot abide by that. It was an
interesting experiment and somewhat tainted my views of Topre switch for quite
some time.
The one thing I truly value in a Topre switch is the
smoothness. It’s something that Topre
has perfected and hard to put a finger on it.
Pun intended. However, I am
beginning to hear good things about Gateron.
Yes, Gateron is one of the many Cherry MX cloners, but it seems to begin
to claim a certain personality of its own: smoothness. Perhaps it was choices of plastic and/or
slight different position of actuation and hysteresis make it appear to do
so. I don’t know. However, I am now quite eager to evaluate a
Gateron based switch keyboard and see what happens. If it does have that prized smoothness that I
found Topre to be so endearing, then it would be an excellent and economical
choice. Stay tuned.
