If only the Variable Silent was $199...

I've got nerve damage in my left arm now - I have no idea if 55g is such a good idea.

Probably not. Although I love the weight of the switch, sometimes when my forearms hurt (RSI) from clicking, it can be tiring to type.

Dang son....55g is the best. Great deal on that board.

It seems like EK is trying to move old stock to make room for some new products, maybe...

I just wonder if they'll be available in 55g when they first roll out considering we've only heard about them in 45g.

I just destroyed my paypal account and bought a 87U Silent. I'm going to see if my neurologist can get the insurance company to cover some of it as I've lost 60% feeling in my pinky and ring fingers. The Lenovo membrane I've got is great but I need something a little lighter for those fingers.

Argh the shipping fees hurt sooo bad! I've added everything to the cart and am just trying to convince myself the $65 in shipping is acceptable.

You will have paid less overall than I did a month ago, how's that for convincing?

Email them and ask about alternative shipping methods. I've heard that some people have had success with this.

Yeah, I know what I'm getting into getting a realforce, the NovaTouch still has to prove itself, and it will be 45g until the market provides enough demand to do anything else.

It's a nice keyboard with 55-gram switches. Picked up a 55-gram 87UW and added a 87UB.
Realforce/Topre 55-gram key switches are crisp and responsive--the feel is different from other
key switches. Now, if Topre or Realforce would only reconsider making accessory key-cap sets.

Question for those who got in on this sale:

Did you receive a Red Esc and/or Lavender WASD?
