Don't forget about the silent version.
Now you must also try the HHKB and the Type-S

So were you like, actually using the Realforce, or were you just marveling at its divine beauty?

Can you confirm two things on the Silent?

1) I've heard that it feels mushier?
2) I've also heard rumors that it slightly decreases stroke length.

I switched from a HHKB Pro 2 w/ 45g switches to a variable Realforce 87U "Silent" keyboard.

The 35g keys on the realforce feel mushy, a lot like cherry reds. The 45g keys on the realforce have a smoother stroke / feel less crisp than the HHKB Pro 2. It bottoms out soft and quietly compared to the HHKB Pro 2; when it bottoms out it sort of "gives" which might explain why it feels like there's a decrease in stroke length, but it's nothing in comparison to how o-rings feels on a cherry board.

If you are interested in trying one I have one for sale that I purchased from JPM804 two months ago.

Hope this helps!

I have a 23U keypad (not silent) and 87USW (silent) the keys feel almost identical maybe the silent is a tiny bit mushier however i like both the keypad and the keyboard equally. stroke length appears to be the same.

I love my Ducky Shine at home, and managed to convince my boss to buy me one for work too.

Now I can enjoy shiny clicky goodness everywhere :)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
