Thanks but mine is also less than a pound so that doesn't say much. :P

Seems like it's a bit heavier than mine though so I will probably get one. :D

Thanks!

The weight is 314 gram = 0.7 lb.

It's way too heavy in my opinion. It hammers through the syncrho giving a very smooth, muted shift feel, but you lose synchro feedback as a result.

How much?

I'd rather get a 5 speed one but for the right price why not.

Man, I wish my S4 would be able to use the RX8 shift ****. I love the way they look, but the S5 is the only one that has the same threads
