I've been converted to smaller form factor keyboards and Ergo Clears...I'm just not using this any more so I want to find it a new home. Purchased 4 months ago and very lightly used since then. It comes in the original box, with all of the original accessories (red Esc, lavender WASD, anti-Caps Lock keys, and key puller). I'm asking $280 with free shipping in the U.S. For international members I'll also cover $15 of the cost of shipping.
For those unsure about the variable silenced version, let me help explain what it's like. Having owned 55gr uniform, 45gr uniform, and now this variable silenced, I think I can speak with authority on this one. :) I do like the uniform weight best, especially the 45gr. The variable weighting feels a bit light at times, but the silencing makes the keyboard as a whole feel as solid as a tank when you're typing, and it really is quiet. For a keyboard that already has a great build quality to it, the silenced switches make it feel like going from a Lexus to a Mercedes. Like the feeling you get from closing the door on a Merc, it just makes a dull "thunk", instead of a "clang". That's the difference you notice here between normal and silenced. To me, that's worth going to the variable weighting. Also, just a point of clarification, the silencing is not on the down-stroke, that feels basically the same between all of the keyboards. The silencing happens on the up-stroke, which is a bit softer and a lot quieter. So, onto the pictures!

If only it was uniform, then I would think about it a lot more :(
-
It's worth it, Beast. ;) I had uniform 45g before this and I hardly even notice the difference.
-
I don't like the idea of variable weights. I just think it would be weird.
Plus my pinkies (lol) are super strong, ask the gurlz :D
-
Bump for price drop.

This really is a great deal for anyone wanting a Realforce, I'd jump on this today if I had the funds.
Just curious, are you open to any trades?

I'm not sure if I should take that as a pony reference or shocker reference beast!! Lol!

Not right now. Between my Poker, my Race, two Filcos and a Phantom, I've got more than enough keyboards to keep my fingers happy at the moment. :)

Yeah I'm reaching maximum capacity for new boards. I need to trade/sell some stuff ATM.

I wish, I think my wife would freak if i got another KB though. You in Seattle proper or the eastside?
-
You could always keep it at the office. I won't tell her about it if you don't. ;)
I bounce around. I work downtown in Pioneer Square, but live up north. I try to avoid the Eastside as much as possible these days, unless I'm out for a motorcycle ride. :)

BTW, here's a YouTube video demonstrating the difference in sound between a variable silenced, uniform 45g silenced, and a standard 45g. It's quite noticeable.

Price lowered again...if I can't sell it at this price, I'm just going to keep it. This is ridiculous guys. This is such a steal.
