[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41614[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 41615[/ATTACH]

What do you get:  Original Topre box, Lavendar WASD, Printed Red Esc keycap, alternate CTRL and Capslock keycaps, and metal keycap puller

Condition:  Moderately used for about 1.5 years and has a shiny spacebar (right thumb).  Otherwise, it's still in immaculate condition as depicted by the images.  I will be thoroughly cleaning it with my Datavac and antibacterial wipes prior to shipping.  As an optional service, I can soak all the keycaps in denture tabs for an additional $5.

Price: [strike]$265, $255. $249[/strike] $240 + Shipping within CONUS48

These are variable weighted switches at: 30/35g, 45g, 55g

I think it's all personal preference. I'd choose a realforce variable over uniform any day. GLWS, wish this sold as fast as my boards did.

I'm also in favor of variable unless you are just going to use the keyboard for gaming. I mostly do typing/coding so modding a variable one to uniform for a gamer buddy broke my heart. :(

Basically you know that your pinkies aren't as strong as your other fingers, so it makes good sense to have the keys they press be lighter.

FWIW I've used a variable and a 55g uniform and definitely prefer the variable.  I would love to try a 45g uniform.

I really want to try Topre, but I can't justify spending over $200 on something I may not like.

Is variable really that bad for gaming?

I shipped like 10 TKL keyboards international haha. It's ~$16 by First Class International to Canada. Not sure how much a Realfoce weighs though, all the ones I sent out were CM/Filco TKL.

Tracking is expensive because it has to go by either Priority or Express, first class international does not provide any tracking.
