Hi - new member here. I've drowned myself in mechanical keyboards the last month. I bought a Realforce 87U in black variable at mechanicalkeyboards.com. Realized I don't like the variable because I ended up accidentally pressing "a" too much. Went through a return at mechanicalkeyboards.com, which cost about $29 and return shipping merp. Then I put an alert and was fairly quickly able to buy the 55G Realforce R2 on Amazon in black. I definitely prefer the 55G to the variable. I thought the variable would be better because its mostly 45G, which I believe is similar to cherry brown, which I tried on a switch tester at my buddy's and liked. But 55G is great. Now if I could only buy some Topre key caps.
