hmmmm..... has anyone done this test with a Realforce or HHKB? I hear that they measure the weight for their switches differently than Cherry switches are measured. Something like Topre are measured at the end and cherry are measured at the activation point. This causes Topre boards to actuate at a lighter force than the force they are rated for (which is actually the force when bottomed out).
Not sure if this is actually true but I did read it somewhere and would like to see it tested if possible.
Just thinking about getting a 45g uniform Topre going from cherry browns and if that is the case then they might be a little lighter than I want. Since browns have a bump at about 50g, which then drops to 45g at actuation, they are actually a bit heavier than Cherry lets on. If the Topre rumour is true then they will most likely be around 40g. That would be a pretty significant drop in force required compared to the browns.

I think Ripster kept track of people's results. I know Topres have been tested.
