Good time of the day deskthority user!
Can you tell me the difference in tactile action of 45 vs 55 g switches? Which one gives the most "bump"? I've never tried a topre switch before and now i feel that the time has come to buy one even weighted keyboard. Any input is welcome.

The bump is lighter on the 45g.
The 55g has a much more pronounced bump, and it is not possible avoid bottoming out while typing.
Topre switches compared to the Cherries have a smoother frictionless feel, and the tactile bump is at the top of the switch, then the resistance quickly drops and you end up bottoming out them, though the landing has a nicer feel.

These are my personal preferences and might help you ( I own 3 topre keyboards : 1 55g uniformly weighted, 1 variable weighted and 1 Happy Hacking keyboard with 45 g weighting ):
1. I don't really like the weighted topre realforces. This is a personal preference though. Also for gaming it is much better to have uniformly weighted keys since I tend to accidentally press the 'a' key a lot when gaming on a weighted topre.
2. The 55g switches on a topre keyboard are a bit too hard to press in my opinion. I like the 45g weighting much better ( Like the one on my happy hacking pro 2 ) My fingers get less tired on a 45g weighted topre.
Currently I am looking for an all 45g weighted white tenkeyless realforce ( yes, white : since I can't read the legends on a black topre which is a pain when entering passwords for instance ).
Regards.

Engineers really fucked up with the a and ; keys being weighted - it's called the HOME ROW for a reason!
