I'm digging my Ducky Realforce. Just wish it was 30g, but I got such a nice price for it, that I can't complain.
Waiting for some thick lube to come in from TechKeys so I can lube this babies' sliders and space bar stab.
You can use 30 g Topre switches? I think these would be far too light for me. However, I thought I would prefer 55 g to the standard 45 g. I like 55 g in my RF87U, but I modded a HHKB with 55 g domes and found that at least in the smaller keyboard, I prefer 45 g.
Thick lube for sliders? It would be fine for stabs, but you might want to test it on a switch to be sure you want thick lube on switch sliders. My own preference is to use Superlube 51010 oil on the slider rails, but not the sliders themselves. Lubing the sliders, especially with a thick lube, could have a detrimental effect on the function of the switch.
Oh, no, no. I did mean the rails. I don't plan on lubing the sliders as I feel like that might attract too much dust. I've read that the rails are adequate enough for a smooth action. What do you think? I have some Krytox 103 that would probably work, though I personally don't care for how krytox seems to stick (or rather, doesn't) to sliders in my experience lubricating Cherry MX switches.
My Realforce is the Ducky Taiwan Edition in 45g. I wanted 30g, but I was lucky enough to get this board for a great price far after it had sold out in the US.
I enjoy heavy and light switches! The only switches I've ever felt to be fatiguing were Alps SKCM Brown in a stiff plate. I feel like I'd really enjoy 30g Topre, but this 45g board has been quite enjoyable itself.
