Topre has the same fundamental issue. The rubber dome buckles at some point, but the switch is activated by the spring deforming enough to change the capacitance above the pads.

Then again, in my experience, it's not an issue. The resistance curve of the rubber domes makes it hard to feel the buckle yet not activate the switch. Once it buckles, it's hard to avoid the "thock".

I too like my Topre boards. But I also haven't gotten a chance to try any of the newer Cherry-style third-party switches.
