I finally have both 55gr and 45gr topres in da house. I hereby officially invite you to my place for as long as you please (up to 1 week) and try them both. For a guy who likes mx green I bet I know which one you'll like mostMuirium wrote:And the 55g feel? Sufficiently sark's sphinctery for you? Or does it need some laxatives?

They need fussier robots. I nominate 7bit!webwit wrote:An example of such quality control is that each key is individually tested by robot, on parameters such as the required force. It is of another level, and this costs money.
Is your 45g board the EK edition by any chance? I am pretty sure that Brian had Topre fix the legends on the EK edition which is why the Enter key and Back Space are different. I have an 87U variable at work and my friend has the EK edition and we see those differences.Julle wrote:Talking about 45 g vs 55 g, I've noticed some subtle differences in the key caps between the versions. The 55 g had a substantially better dye sublimation on the lettering. Also, some of the legends are different, for example the 55 g version has a thicker, hollow Enter symbol whereas the 45 g has a thin arrow symbol on the key.
Topre had some issues with the alignment of the plastic parts of the switches themselves, I mean more than before. I think my 45 g was manufactured before this particular 55 g, and the 45 g uses some type of thick, white grease in some of the switches to compensate for key cap swivel, especially in the larger modifier keys.
