What differences in feel can I expect between a Type Heaven and a Realforce that's similarly 45g uniform?
-
I would very much like to know this too!
-
At the current moment, Realforce 104U only comes with variable weight option. Type Heaven only comes with 45g uniform.
Realforce 87U comes with either variable weight, 45g uniform, or 55g uniform.
Beyond that Realforce is made in Japan while Type Heaven is made in China. Realforce comes with PBT keycaps and Type Heaven comes with ABS keycaps.
Realforce cost around $230-250 and Type Heaven is around $150. I bought a Type Heaven because I want full size 45g uniform weight, and I might switch my keycaps to PBT later when other colors are back in stock at EK.
Hope this helps. :)

I heard a typing clip of the Type Heaven on YouTube and imo it didn't sound that great.

Not true!

As for the other difference in features, I more or less already know, just wanted to know what people who have used both think :)
-
Uh they only sell the full size 45g ones in Asia, and it's typically limited edition.
lol ops I read too fast earlier, didn't realize you're asking about typing feel. I've compared it to my g/f's Leopold FC660C and I prefer the PBT keycaps and feel.
Make the key presses feel deeper and a deeper thud.

Does the FC660C have the same keycaps as hhkb?
I really liked the ones on the HHKB compared to the FC660

I am in Asia :x and yes, I'm able to get my hands on a 45g if I wanted.
The 55g intrigues me though, but they're quite a bit harder to find.

No, while they're both PBT..the FC660C comes with pad printed legends, and the HHKB Keycaps are Dye-Sub and will never wear off.

lol lucky you, I wanted a 45g full size Realforce.
As for 45g vs 55g, I think it's kinda similar to the difference of people who prefer MX Blue/Brown/Red vs Buckling Spring/MX Black/MX Green.
I currently really happy with my 45g and I came from MX Brown/Red.
