Neither have I, in fact most people praise the 55g over 45g from what I've observed (at least on here).

I might even sell my variable 87U and get a 55g, those 30g keys at the end of the variable gradient feel so wrong.

Post by: Mr. C on Thu, 27 February 2014, 09:21:39: I only say I can't type fast nor long on my RF 55g. I'm sure others can. Of course I don't type very fast on any other keyboard. Maybe 45 wpm.

Well, it's some years ago, so I don't remember the exact number as I said, but my guess would be somewhere around there. Maybe 190 WPM. It might have been the highscore of the month/week/day though.

He's just making excuses because he can't finger properly.

Post by: Shyfe on Sun, 02 March 2014, 00:23:15: oh hey guys. I do have a typeracer, but I haven't really played it much. my speed goes down a lot when I need 100% accuracy.

I haven't really "practiced" typing. it's just from undeliberate computer use throughout my life as a 20 year old.
