REALFORCE 45G UNIFORMI read great reviews on Realforce boards, 45g along with 55g. Its just the layout steering me away from it (same with novatouch). I currently have a ducky TKL board and I want to try something smaller, preferably in the 60% range.
I seem to have caught the topre fever as well. I think 45g topre is the most friendly for typists used to mx brown, red, or blue. Heavier mx typists may want to try out the 55g. I like my new 55g but it's a little tiring. I own a modified 45g that I'm going to try unmodding to see how vanilla 45g feels. I also want to get a novatouch or even 660c. I've used hhkbs before but the layout is too minimalist for me, though the typing felt great.Is there a vast difference in 45g and 55g? I havent tried but the ~10g difference seems minimal, but again Im speculating from a topre noob perspective.
I have tried all but the Novatouch. Although the feel of the HHKB was amazing I do love my FC660c A LOT more. The dedicated arrow keys won me over but it also feels quite a bit different than my 45g Uniform 87u.Exactly my thoughts, the small form factor+arrow keys is why Im leaning towards the 660c (and its easily available here in Korea compared to HHKB). When you get the Novatouch please let me know how it compares to your 660c/87u!
I use the 87u everyday at work and haven't looked back. I would still like to try the 55g but for everyday typing you can't beat the 45g IMO. Saving up for the Novatouch right now and might be able to get it before Christmas.
I personally prefer the extra buttons on a TKL layout over the HHKB. The 660c seems to have the best layout for a compact keyboard though.
I think the 55g is a lot more taxing on the fingers because you have to apply the full 55g at the start of the keypress to collapse the rubber dome, after which your finger bottoms out harder. However the higher resistance also makes the return snappier. I'll let you know the difference once I try out my 45g 87U without the silencing mod.
Alright, I just removed the silencing mod from my Realforce 87U 45g and tested out both 45g and 55g on typeracer. After repeating the same paragraph many times, I got the same WPM on both keyboards.Thank you so much for this! I am a fan of "punctuated" responses, tactile feedback along with its clicky sound is what lured me into MX blues, however your comment on 55g being a bit more taxing on the fingers makes me wary. Of course, that is if I take the RealForce route. With that in mind HHKB seems to have 45g switches while the 660c has conflicting opinions despite whats describes(45g on paper), observations ranging from 45g, 55g or even in between. This continuously fuels my curiousity/confusion/intrigue in Topres. Truth be told, I will never know what it is like until I actually own one, but this is great that I am learning and getting information before my next purchase. If you dont mind me asking, how long have you owned the Realforce boards? Im curious to know their durability to justify myself purchasing another keyboard. My mx tkl is under a year old with no issues, I want to make sure my topre purchase will be the same if not be a "life-time" board.
After having used the 55g for almost a week, the 45g felt much less tactile than the 55g. I guess it's sort of like the difference between MX browns and clears. I might even go so far as to say 45g feels wimpy in comparison, BUT it's much smoother and more pleasant on the fingers than 55g. Nevertheless, I had no trouble typing on the 45g.
45g feels buttery smooth while 55g is much more "punctuated" and punchy.
This test reinforces my belief that 45g is much more suitable for someone coming from MX browns/reds/blues, although most Topre keyboards are in 45g so there's no problem. However, the 55g gives a pretty unique typing experience and I think it's completely reasonable for one to have both 45g and 55g Topre keyboards in his/her collection.
As an extra note, the 45g sounds quieter than the 55g, even without the silencing mod. In fact the 45g is quiet enough that I think the mod's not really necessary, at least not for the Realforce 87U. The Novatouch will definitely benefit from a landing pad silencing mod.
Here's a photo of both keyboards, with the white 55g on the top and black 45g on the bottom:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/yHue0D4.jpg)
I agree the 55g Topres are noticeably stiffer than 45g. I much prefer the 45gIm curious what mx switch compares best with the 45g and 55g so I can test the glimpse of it.
so my topre history is like this:
1. bought a FC660C
2. bought a novatouch
3. sold the novatouch (preferred the leopold vastly)
4. bought a 55g RF
5. selling the realforce at the moment (prefer the leopold vastly - feel, thock, compactness, case build, etc.)
6. will be getting a second leo for work
i think my preference is clear from the above :)
55g is a little tiring but my fingers got used to the weight after a few days of use. I've only owned the 55g for about a week, but I purchased it from amos5606 in Taiwan who used it previously. His oldest video of it is from 7 months ago so the keyboard is probably only about 8 months old. It still looks almost brand new except for a bit of staining on the keys which should be cleanable. Here are some of his 55g typing videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItYEOq1b-1g&list=UUzAOJvruDU16B3-yYEbnb8A&index=2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItYEOq1b-1g&list=UUzAOJvruDU16B3-yYEbnb8A&index=2) (I should point out that his "silenced" HHKB isn't the type-S which is much quieter).That sounds soooooo smexy!! (hope its not TOO weird to be turned on by the sound of someone typing..) Its like a silenced pistol, sounds different yet weirdly appealing.
The 45g Topre still has tactile feedback, just less so compared to 55g. I've owned the 45g Realforce for 3 months, but I also bought it used and modified from a Reddit user. I don't know how long he's had the Realforce for, but the keys are more scratched up and the case a little worn / shiny. The build quality of Realforce is really good and I would say for a typical user it should last many years. I've also heard that the rubber loses some strength after a lot of use, so it's possible the keys become a little lighter after a long time. Topre life cycle should be on par with MX (tens of millions of keypresses).
I want to say that MX brown or clear is most similar to Topre, but the feeling is not the same of course. MX brown has the tactile bump somewhere in the middle of the travel, while Topre is mostly at the beginning like you're pressing on a bubble. MX brown also feels scratchy (plastic on plastic friction) while Topre is very smooth (bending rubber).
so my topre history is like this:
1. bought a FC660C
2. bought a novatouch
3. sold the novatouch (preferred the leopold vastly)
4. bought a 55g RF
5. selling the realforce at the moment (prefer the leopold vastly - feel, thock, compactness, case build, etc.)

Leopold definitely did something right with the FC660C - I don't think I've seen a negative review of it yet!
yeah the FC660C is pretty much my daily board at home, but i'm too lazy to bring it to work every day, so i keep my mx black filco at work at the moment. the 55g RF is sitting in its original box on my shelf at home waiting for the sale. when i manage to sell it, i will get a second FC660C.
the FN + arrows for pgup/pgdn/home/end are super intuitive, that's the only thing i was missing on a daily basis with anything less than a TKL. at home i mainly game, but i don't play realtime strategies, so i don't really need dedicated F keys. even if i did, i can dip switch the win and FN keys, so i wouldn't need two hands. i was missing the F keys in planetside 2 while switching seats in vehicles, but as said, that can be remedied via the dip switch (haven't done that, don't play in vehicles in PS2 that much to justify it - lol at my laziness)
so yeah. been using the FC660C for a couple of weeks now, and i love it. not a single complaint. i'm by no means a typist, my job is a sysadmin for transaction authorization systems, so i don't type that much, at home i almost exclusively game (guild wars 2 mostly at the moment, for which the FC660C is awesome)
matt3o also uses a FC660C as a daily driver, but he replaced the rubber domes for 55g ones (presumably from a RF). or at least so he told me.
The Leopold FC660C was my first Topre. I very much appreciated the build quality, sound and feel of the board. I didn't like the stock keycaps that were available at the time, and the layout was not quite to my liking, so I gave the board away.
Next, I got the HHKB Pro 2. I love the 60% form factor, layout, and the dye-sub PBT keycaps. I have kept this and it is in my main keyboard rotation.
More recently, I acquired the RF 87ub 45g and RF 87ub 55g. These are both excellent and I rank them almost the same, but I have some preference for the 55g, which has a "snappier" feel to it than the 45g. These remain in my main keyboard rotation, and I have remapped them as closely as I can to the HHKB Pro 2 layout.
The other keyboard that is currently in my main rotation is an IBM XT outfitted with a Teensy and Soarer's Converter and remapped as closely as I can to a Mac/HHKB Pro 2 layout.
I also have the CM Novatouch. I like the fact that I can put Cherry-compatible keycaps on it, and I like it better than any Cherry mx board I have tried, but not nearly as much as my other Topre-switch keyboards.
Black boards are boring, everyone has one. I vote white if you can find it.
I would choose a non-black version too, which is probably less expensive for you than us since you're in South Korea!

Congratulations on your acquisition - a fine keyboard you have there :)
That is a fine-looking board! Iove the colour scheme.
If I live in Korea or anywhere nearby, I will definitely get one of these...There are some on ebay, this one isn't too much higher than what EK had them listed for.

It still based on Korea, I had bad memories about international shipping before so...
Thanks for the link anyway.
I love (LOVE) the RF 87U 55g but for everything else, FC660C > * (form factor, best 45g feeling in Topre family for me, etc.). Yep, tried them all. Current collection here (http://imgur.com/a/8J3v1). And yep, they are SOOOO CUTE. :thumb:
Guess what is my fav layout. :D

I am certainly going to visit Yongsan and buy a FC660C on my next trip to Korea...!
Waiting for my HHKB which is arriving in 4 days or so :D

Although the question wasnt directed to me, I can speak up that the 660c fn layer is very intuitive. My favorite fn feature is the fn+arrow keys, home/end/pageup/pagedown. Its easy enough that I dont have to say which arrows corresponds to which :pDo you find the placement of the FN key better? I don't think my pinky can stretch all the way to the HHKB fn

I just posted a humorous rant about 55g vs 45g Topre recently: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67186
I agree that the Leopold FC660C is a very special keyboard. I love the compact size (very portable), the intuitive Fn layer of the arrow keys, the quality of the keycaps (which I understand is a vast improvement over the earlier version's keycaps). When I type on the FC660C, the keycaps gives off the impression that they're made of some expensive hard-wood instead of plastic. I'm not sure why I get that impression. I don't get that impression when typing on my RealForce 87U keyboards.
Out of my three Topre keyboards, the Leopold is my favorite. But there's one thing I dislike about it, and that is the micro-USB cable. I don't think it's wise to use a flimsy connector like that. I would have preferred the plug to be under the keyboard, and have cable routing channels like the ones on the RealForce keyboards. If you look at the way the cable is connected under the keyboard on the 87U, you can see there's enough room for a micro USB plug like the one FC660C uses, and that's what Leopold should have done IMO.
My other two Topres are the RealForce 87U Type-S ergonomic weighted, and 55g uniform weighted.
The Type-S is very quiet--the most quiet keyboard I have. It feels significantly softer to type on due to the weighting, and I think it's good for those who dislike heavy keys, or during times when you're not feeling well (sick, tired, headache, feeling weak, etc). Although it's only the pinky keys that are lighter weight, the overall typing experience feels about 25~30% softer than the 45g FC660C. For people who love tactile keys, it is definitely not tactile enough. Those who lover soft/smooth keys will love it, I think.
The 55g version is about 15~20% more tactile than the 45g version. It's not "night and day" as some people claim, so if you are considering spending your hard-earned money on a 55g because everyone is telling you how it is the best Topre and how it is a "completely different experience" from the 45g, you need to think twice because the difference is not as dramatic as that.

I read your referenced thread, in addition to your 'expert' opinions expressed here. While everyone is entitle to their opinion, yours simply isn't accurate. But of course, you're an 'arteest'. You might try taking a break from painting and use a keyboard for 12 hours per day.
There are those who drive to 7-Eleven for beer, and there are those who drive for a living. The former won't notice much difference in their seat. The latter will tell you the seat is everything.
If you work on a keyboard every day, all day, the subtle differences you've so opinionatedly pointed out, become quite important. If the differences aren't that obvious to you, then you are wasting money on Topre boards. Save your money and just buy a nice MX board and you'll be happy.
The humor here isn't that some in the GH community have strong opinions regarding keyboards, which might seem anal to a normal computer user. The real humor here is people who espouse strong opinions about a topic of which they obviously know nothing about.

I think he's just stating his opinion...Just as lovers of 55g state theirs. The part that amazes me is people that swear by 55g are so convinced they actually believe it would be the most popular Topre switch if given the volume which is definitely NOT the case...but of course, everyone believes what they believe is the majority...It takes a lot to look at the situation and think you're in the minority..
I personally don't see anything wrong with having a different opinion than someone else..and my preference doesn't need to be your preference or anyone else's...but I don't think we'd be enthusiasts if we didn't have strong opinions about what we like, what we think about X or Y.

Exactly. In any case 55g is by far my least favorite Topre weight. (I still don't really like Topre in general.)

I read your referenced thread, in addition to your 'expert' opinions expressed here. While everyone is entitle to their opinion, yours simply isn't accurate. But of course, you're an 'arteest'. You might try taking a break from painting and use a keyboard for 12 hours per day.
There are those who drive to 7-Eleven for beer, and there are those who drive for a living. The former won't notice much difference in their seat. The latter will tell you the seat is everything.
If you work on a keyboard every day, all day, the subtle differences you've so opinionatedly pointed out, become quite important. If the differences aren't that obvious to you, then you are wasting money on Topre boards. Save your money and just buy a nice MX board and you'll be happy.
The humor here isn't that some in the GH community have strong opinions regarding keyboards, which might seem anal to a normal computer user. The real humor here is people who espouse strong opinions about a topic of which they obviously know nothing about.
Yeah, I apologize to everybody, especially Lunatique. I remotely worked until 4am on a troublesome DB and wasn't in the best of moods. It was one of those 14 hour days on a keyboard. I should've just taken a Midol, gone to bed and read the forum in the morning. :-X

It's okay, man. I've had those days too where I lost my temper and got in the faces of people who didn't deserve it. I felt bad every single time, and as I got older, I forced myself to step on the brakes and take a deep breath whenever I felt like I was about to unload on somebody. Life never gets any better when we lose control--only worse, and I had to learn that the hard way.
Let's hug it out, eh? *Big bear hug*
I hope your work will be less troublesome in 2015, with less need of Midol. I sure as hell need an easier year in 2015. 2014 got pretty brutal towards the end for me in terms of work, so I totally understand.
