What are my options for trying out a Realforce 55g?
« on: Sat, 15 February 2014, 18:56:59 »
I'm curious to see what a Realforce with 55g weighting feels like. Is there any way I can try one somewhere in Toronto?

I'm not the threadstarter but I've been thinking about buying one myself. Er.. I doubt there's any GHers in Salem Oregon

I can't buy any keyboards right now, I really need to start saving up some money to build a new computer and buy a new monitor.

Oh man, getting Brocaps' board would have been convenient but I have the white one and its caps in mind.

I also have my short throw that is 55g but the feel is a bit different from normal ones.
