Eyy! Sad that no Alps switches made it, but this was the next best thing!

Don't make me more curious than I need to be over this.

I expected more from beam spring. You disappointed me so much, beam spring.

Damn, I was hoping and expecting to see Beam Spring up there at #1. A lot of people haven't tried it or even heard of it, we need more Beam Spring out there! Top two places definitely deserve praise, great switches

Yeah

I feel like a lot of voters probably haven't ever ever tried beam spring sadly though.

That's the thing, it's not an accessible switch. (And, I prefer capacitive buckling spring over it - beam spring is smoother, more refined, but I prefer more tactility in my switches.)

I feel like Topre is just getting started. Hopefully there will be ISO versions of the new Leopold boards!

Going MX mount was a great decision to get even more enthusiast attention.
