==Variations== {| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%; text-align: left; width: auto;" ! Example Image !! Description |- | [[File:Topre Normal.png|200px]] || Standard Topre switch, available in many different weights and used in the vast majority of Topre-made keyboards. |- | [[File:Topre Purple.png|200px]] || Purple switches used in [[Realforce]] keyboards. Originally used only in silenced Topre keyboards; however, [[Cooler Master]] also used this colour in their non-silenced [[Cooler Master Novatouch|Novatouch]].<ref name="DT-Novatouch" /> |- | [[File:MD01B0 - Short-throw Switch.jpg|200px]] || [[Topre Short-throw|Short-throw]] switch used in compact-layout keyboards. It was previously thought to exist only in a 55cN weight; however, this assumption was based on measurements gathered or guessed at by users. The only known cited force measurement is '40±15%' which presumably means 40 grams with a 15% margin of error.<ref name="MoreMinus" /> |- | [[File:Topre HHKB Switch.png|200px]] || Two-tone switches used in the [[HHKB Professional|Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional]] (Type-S pictured). The main housing is moulded onto the plastic. Only the plunger can be removed, compared to the standard Realforce switch, which can be removed completely from the mounting plate. |- | [[File:Topre Keychain.JPG|200px]] || Second revision of the Topre keychain switch, provided at promotional Realforce events in Japan. This version has a clear acrylic housing and a coloured keycap with ‘REALFORCE’ printed on the top. The ‘A’ symbol on the second revision is coloured red as per Topre’s standard advertising for Realforce keyboards. The first version had a clear acrylic base only. It also has a coloured keycap and ‘REALFORCE’ print on the top, without the red ‘A’ symbol. |- | [[File:Topre High.png|200px]] || High set or 'Hi-Pro' switches, shown here to the left of a standard Topre switch. Used in a number of Topre keyboards including the Realforce branded 108UG, 104UG and 104UK Hi-Pro, as well as some Topre OEM data-entry keyboards such as the Juki Celavi-i, [[Juki DATUM]], [[Nissho KB106DE]] and [[Hatsucoh Electronics HEKB01]]. All of these keyboards have tall, [[Spherical keycap|spherical keycaps]]. |- | [[File:Sony BKE 2011 - Switch Dome Close.JPG|200px]] || Alternate dome design used on a conductive Topre switch variant. Two keyboards are known to have this switch: the [[Sony BKE-2011]] and the Sony BKE-2010. This design may have also been used on the Sony NWS-1200<ref name="Sony-NWS-1200" />, but complete details of the product are not known. The slider design is the same as the standard Topre capacitive switch. |- | [[File:CM Novatouch TKL -- Switch Small.jpg|200px]] || Topre-made switch exclusive to the [[Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL]]. Cooler Master collaborated with Topre to produce the first Topre switch compatible with keycaps for the popular [[Cherry MX]] line of switches. |}
