Topre’s own electrostatic capacitive key switches offer 30 to 45 grams of weighting in the letter area and 55 grams of weighting on the Esc key. Constructed in Japan and comprising metal springs and rubber domes, these unique switches are sought after for the snap feeling that’s produced when the switch is activated. Unlike most other switches, actuation of these switches occurs long before the key bottoms out, which helps prevent inflammation of the tendon sheath. The result? A super-tactile, long-lasting board.
