Hi! I'd like to buy my first topre board, but i'm not sure which of these domes i should get. I love the light tactility of the mx browns, so i'm leaning towards the 30g, but i've heard people say that 30g feels too mushy and almost linear, so i'm not sure. Does 30g topre feel more linear than mx brown, and what do people mean when they talk about "mushiness"? Is the bottom out on 30g somehow mushier or more spongy than on 45g, or do they just mean that there isn't as much feedback?

30g is extremely light, you can very easily initiate keypresses just by resting fingers on keycaps - something i wasn't aware i did until trying 30g. They aren’t ‘mushy’ they’re just incredibly light with little tactile feedback but they are consistent across all domes, far better than a cheapshit dome board that you can write off as mush.

If you want something closer to mx brown then i guess 45g topre would be the better option, but comparing the two is somewhat insulting to Topre, that switch has a smoothness that mx brown wishes it had.

I've found that 45g topre are definitely stiffer than MX brown. At least this is the case on my HHKB.
I doubt they mean that 30g is more mushy in terms of bottom out feel, it's probably just less tactile. People deeper in the community tend to love hyper tactile switches for some reason.
