Title: What is the exact sensitivity layout of the Realforce 104UB?
Post by: Rythh on Wed, 27 February 2013, 23:21:47

Hey guys, I have been looking around everywhere and I can't seem to find the exact weight distribution of the 104UB.  Everywhere I look it just says that the layout is separated by 35g, 45g, and 55g depending on the expected finger to be used, but does anyone have an image or something of which key is which force?

Thanks!

I did see a picture once, but I have no idea where.  Anyway, as far as I know, all keys are 45g except esc which is 55g and every "pinky" key which is 35g.

Wow that's interesting, which board has the quad-weight layout?

Is the quad layout for the 104UB? 

And either way I am happy, I just wanted to be sure most of the keys were NOT going to be 55g, the lighter the actuation force the better!  Is it a definite that they didn't change the layout to include more 55g?

Ring finger is 40g, pinkie is 35g, esc is 55g, everything else is 45g.

Though I vaguely remember there's only 3 force difference, so maybe ring and pinkie are both 35g.

Definitely no 55g.
