Topre 55g Electrocapacitive
TactileThe heavy Topre: a firmer dome with a more pronounced collapse and a deeper thock. The pick for deliberate typists who find 45g domes too easy to fall through.
Sound & feel
The 55g dome is Topre for people who type with intent. The firmer rubber makes the tactile swell more pronounced and the post-collapse landing more authoritative, with a correspondingly deeper note to the thock.
Realforce offers 55g in several models, and it has a loyal following among heavy-handed typists who bottom out every keystroke anyway. The firmer dome returns more energy and keeps fingers from crashing.
Between 45g's effortless flow and 55g's deliberate cadence there is no wrong answer, only typing style; trying both on a Realforce tester is a rite of passage for Topre converts.
