Not entirely sure, but I'm trying to sell CONUS48 for now.  If for some reason, no American wants this, I'll reach out to you :)

Who lied to you? :smile:

I think it's all personal preference. I'd choose a realforce variable over uniform any day. GLWS, wish this sold as fast as my boards did.

Post by: oneproduct on Sat, 03 March 2012, 20:49:31

I'm also in favor of variable unless you are just going to use the keyboard for gaming. I mostly do typing/coding so modding a variable one to uniform for a gamer buddy broke my heart. :(

Basically you know that your pinkies aren't as strong as your other fingers, so it makes good sense to have the keys they press be lighter.

Post by: hashbaz on Sun, 04 March 2012, 01:25:24

FWIW I've used a variable and a 55g uniform and definitely prefer the variable.  I would love to try a 45g uniform.

Post by: jpm804 on Sun, 04 March 2012, 02:39:44

My preferences are still variable and 45g .... I could never get use to the 55g I owned before.

I didn't like the 30g on the variable but I heard it was better with the 35g that are on the 87**

Is variable really that bad for gaming?

I shipped like 10 TKL keyboards international haha. It's ~$16 by First Class International to Canada. Not sure how much a Realfoce weighs though, all the ones I sent out were CM/Filco TKL.

Quote from: DanGWanG;527624

Tracking is expensive because it has to go by either Priority or Express, first class international does not provide any tracking.
