Say, has this keyboard ever dropped in a higher weight than 35g?
I'm mighty tempted by this keyboard, but would kick myself if it came up again in 45g or 55g, for example. If it's only ever been available here in 35g, I may take a chance to see if I like it.
This is coming from a Novatouch, at 45g, which I think feels a bit too light. And a Topre Realforce 87U in 55g, which I thought was slightly too heavy.
I think the RC 930 87U's version of 55g feels just about right, but it has a slightly gritty feel which I'm not terribly fond of.
Now, I do like Cherry Browns a lot, and someone here mentioned this 35g feels like a slightly heavier Cherry Brown.
I suppose if this has a good tactile bump, 35g may be OK, but I don't know.
Tempted, but if there's a history of this coming in higher weights, I might see if those come up again.

K.T.NI'm not sure why this would feel like a HEAVIER brown, considering browns have a higher activation force. YMMV. This is a cool design though.

K.T.NFor how little force is required with these keys, most of it feels weighted to the first part of the press. Before this keyboard my favourite switches were cherry browns, FWIW. Also there is a full size 108 key version on aliexpress which is available in 45g. I'm really tempted to grab one, but having really fallen for this keyboard I can't justify it. A standalone plum numpad would be pretty awesome though.

pyrobunnyBecause of where the force is measured. Topre "breaks" and browns actuation and perceived bottoming out are different. Topre 45 g will feel much heaver than a 45g MX brown for instance. If not bottoming out, a 35g Plum84 switch will feel like a 50-55g brown with no grit. MX browns feel extremely light my friend. DO keep that in mind.
