Realforce 87U!

I've got the same thing going! My Japanese mate is off to Japan. I'm one surprise ahead of you!!! I'm either in for a SE1900 (all 45g) or SE170S (variable Silent) - depends on which he manages to source!

... tired of waiting for keyboard co. and no willing to to pay HMPrickRC import duty

Personally i'd go with the linear r because i want to try reds, but then the only mechanics i've tried yet are browns, so my opinion is lol :D

If you want a 87u, you don't have as many choices from EK as a lot of the models are sold-out due to the $299 sale.

Surely you mean basketball, specifically iverson's rant about not going to practice.

Not sure what the wait is all about but both the Realforce and Reds are my ultimate favorites - I say go for the 87U Silent.  Love the silent Realforce!

Why do the 45g and 55g sell out so fast?

I think it's mainly to do with:

the WASD cluster, i.e. A is 35g on variable no? as a gamer you will unintentionally activate 'A'
35g switches activate really quickly?

Don't take my word for it though, it's what I've read ...

Where is the No 1 Keyboard expert when you need him ...

Personally I put it to chance ... I specifically told my mate the first shop, they first of the two models, I'll have it ...

Do let us know if your fingers get fatigued! Initially I wanted the uniform 55g but having read some reviews I steered clear ...
