LOL. Yes, I offered to sell my 99% brand new Topre Realforce 87UW 45g. It was the one given to me as a"gift" by one of my students, in return for something special I did for them - you may like to read the PM I sent you on May 2, 2012. That something special cost me more than RM25K in services provided, the fee for which I waived. My student knew that... the rest is a private matter between me and the person. Not everything is what people might assume. So did I pay for the keyboard? My student and I know the answer to that one.

Is the keyboard authentic and 99% brand new? Yes.

Was it paid in full? Yes

Is it offered at a great price? Yes. (dragorc got a fantastic deal)

And as I said to dragorc, I felt like offering a Realforce to someone this month. This is going to be his first mechanical keyboard, so it better be a good one. I can easily pick up another RF, and I'm quite likely to do so. The same student offered to get me a few more RFs... as I said, not everything is what people assume.

Right,
let me know when you get more, and if you want to sell them,
I might wan to pick up one from you, hoping to get a "fanstatic deal" too.

Less than 3 weeks since I opened the box! Total usage less than 10 days. (I have quite a number of other keyboards and I've also been travelling.)

I am a consultant - a special type of "lecturer" with "special" students. I cannot be more specific, but I can tell you that I help my students become very successful in their careers and all of them are invariably grateful for the assistance. Payment is usually in terms of money, but I sometimes accept high-end keyboards.

oh, other than tat model u offer me what else u got? I hope there will be black topre keycaps so i can buy but i love the 10th anniversary keycaps, it look different n much solid...does cyclcone really doesnt take the preorder animore for the 10th anniversary n normal realforce?

Cyclone got new normal one, but not the 10th anniversary one,
that's what he told me, you can ask him.

I really recommend you to get from Epiguru,
Epiguru have it right now, for Cyclone he need to order from Japan, usually take some time.
the white one are better than then black one for clear view.

@Epiguru, if you really come across another one and thinking of selling it, let me know.

ya hope can get a good deal from him..btw i prefer black becoz it really suit for gaming purpose..but bro still prefer HHKB over realforce i dun know y mybe coz of the layout itself...but nvm realforce oso worth to try in end

Both has its strengths, but the normal layout of RF has an easier learning curve than the HHKB .
Heck even my Poker which is 'more standard' than the HHKB, already is giving me quite a learning curve. Need time to get used to the missing Del/Ins cluster and the F row.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to RMA a Ducky keyboard (DK1008XM)?

Ive sent it for RMA and theres still no news after 1 month

I am getting R00TW0RM, when try to go to geekhack, anyone having same issue?

Wild cat is things from last century, LOL...

But it is open box/NIB + it is BS, the condition probably still good as new. Though cosmetically may have some aging I assumed.

Added on June 27, 2012, 11:22 amEven lower budget is those alps from Leopold/Ducky.

Added on June 27, 2012, 11:24 amThose keyboards(from unicomp) are generally marketed as office keyboard, which 2KRO or normal 125Hz polling rate are more than enough to serve its purpose.

BTW, the wild cat is more to a Model M clone than a board by UNICOMP.

Fair enough, thought of trying out one for o2jamming, oh well.

shame to ask, but what learning curve does act???

What happened to your Ducky?

hi, just got my ducky 9008 shine and i noticed the numlock key cannot be turn off(when i try to turn it of it auto turn on agian)..is this normal??

Geekhack is down again.
It got hacked.

Your RMA is done already.

hoho got pawned always ka

donno ?

Kinda out of the blue, I decide to change the keycaps to Orange today.







The Topre switch's Plunger are in Purple color......
wonder how other Topre look like.....
plunger for my HHKB Pro2 is Black.

with the orange keys on, it doesn't look like a 10th anniversary edition anymore

I m still not very satisfied with the Ctrl and CapsLock key arrangement...

I m quite used to the HHKB layout for the Ctrl key, so I switch the CapsLock to the left bottom corner,
and the Ctrl to the left side of the middle row....
but the key they provided is not a CapsLock in Ctrl Size, But just a Ctrl with a LED hole on the key......
and the Ctrl on the lefet side of middle row, that is not a Ctrl in CapsLock size..... but just a CapsLock with no LED hole....
..... What are they thinking.
