How its switch registers

Realforce R2 ships with Topre 45g, rated tactile by this database. Squeezing the dome changes the capacitance between plates; the controller watches the curve cross a threshold. The smooth, quiet, rounded bump associated with Topre boards.

Drawn distances are the norm for this switch family, not a measurement of this keyboard. The animation is the same diagram the app uses.

Sound

On the sound model used across this site it reads as poppy · creamy · soft. That is a character derived from its mount, case weight, switch feel and noise rating — it is not a recording of this keyboard.
