Weird. My Apple aluminum triggers at 54.9 grams.

That's one reason I use nickels. 5g variance is pretty normal and not really noticeable by most people.

A little high but sometimes new keyboards are a bit stiffer:

http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Keyboard+Peak+and+Activation+Forces#Blue+MX
Quote:
Ducky 9008G2 - 45g - Source - Hydroid.
Rosewill RK-9000 - 50-55g - Source.
Razer Black Widow Ultimate - 55g - Source - Soekev.
Das keyboard - 58g - Source - srsSParky32.

Filco Blue Cherry - 50g
attachment.php?attachmentid=22288&thumb=1

Filco Blue Cherry (backup keyboard) - 50g
attachment.php?attachmentid=22289&thumb=1

Note: Blues measure a bit lower than the official force chart would indicate. Measurements tend to show both activation and bottoming out around 50g instead of 60g for peak force and bottoming out force.

New Cherry MX Solid White 2012 switch.

Tactile and clicky.

13 nickels 65g activation force (datasheet says 80g but they are wrong).

I'd post this at Deskthority.net or Geekhack but I'm banned at both places.

I feel like Galileo railing against the authorities that KEYBOARD SCIENCE TRUTH can NOT BE SUPRESSED!
