i think i like the FC660C more than the 87UW 55g - am i crazy?
« 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

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.
