Title: i think i like the FC660C more than the 87UW 55g - am i crazy?
Post by: skuko on Mon, 24 November 2014, 23:02:31
seems that the leopold has more "thock" than the realforce, which i honestly find very weird :X am i crazy or something?

i think it's due to the fact, that the leo has a smaller plate, so the sound is a bit mure muffled. also, i think i like the 45g better. they're a bit less snappier than the realforce, but they're also a little lighter, which i like (previously used MX reds almost exclusively).

i think i will keep the leo for home and use the 55g RF at work for some time and let it sink in a bit. if i don't really like it, there may be a RF available int he EU for less than what keyboardco charges :D

55g is best topre switch. 55g RF is best ever.

If you like snappy, the novatouch has the snappiest topre I've used (hhkb, 87ub, 660c)

This. It's almost snappier than 55g.

it's not like a i need more snappy than the leopold already is, the keys on the leo just feel a bit softer and "thockier" to me than the RF.

i think it might just be a case of me preferring the 45g topre to 55g. :O

no, you are not crazy. The leo 660C it's in incredibly fine keyboard, and my daily driver, but I put 55g domes on it.
