Topre key switches aren't bad. They're more expensive than they're likely really worth, but they feel like a cross between a cherry-mx-brown switch and a rubber dome switch. Good feedback, easy on the fingers, and no sound from the switch (it's capacitive, not mechanical).

That said, nothing (silent) quite replicates the action of a buckling spring. MX Blues come close (since they have a piece that "gives" under pressure), but they are not precisely silent (since they have a piece that "gives" under pressure).

Hmm, cool. I've had a read about them since they were mentioned in another post here.

They look prety good and I'd like to try a topre keyboard, but they cost the sort of cash you put down when you know you want them for sure. Will look out for one in a physical shop to try out.
