I would say Realforce 87U if you don't need a portable keyboard in the future. And 55G domes are much nicer to type on then 45G domes imo.

Both are great keyboards, although the legends on the FC660C keycaps tend to wear off somewhat quickly (was that just the earlier batches?).

Can't go wrong with either.

RealForce if you want a more conventional TKL layout, FC660C for 60%.

Just broke out my R2 55g silenced. I very much prefer this to the FC660C as RF R2 comes with PBT spacebars standard and the thock on it seems to be pronounced when compared to FC660.

Just my thoughts....
