The only uniform ANSI layout Realforce I know of are the 103U 55g, 104U 45g, 86U 45g (from cyclone's sales thread) ,87U 45g, 87U 55g
More on the ISO and Japanese layout front but I didn't do much research on those

if you guys have any kind of special request i can try to ask headquarter out to see if it's available.

Btw, i just finish cutting my finger nails to type topre keyboard, definitely more better, was feeling awkward with long feeling nails typing a topre keyboard.

Edited: Added.

Bottoming the Realforce keyboard doesn't have any kind of clacking sound.

What brand is the black and white keyboard?

That sounds like my preparation to play the piano haha.. cutting nails

Clacking sound is when you release the switches quickly
Bottoming out, and typing quickly you should hear Topre domes farting

That should be his Leopold in KBC PBT mix and match set

it is my leopold FC500R mix with KBC PBT Keycaps.

yeah, that's my keyboard.

For Topre domes farting, i've been doing for like 5 mins, still can't get the farting sound. only my ass is the one that is farting. LOL

I couldn't get that sound either from typing quickly.

Maybe it's just me and my placebo effect doing the talking here. You could ignore that.
Pity you had to sell the FILCO R away. Maybe you can contact the 2 FILCO sellers who wanted this version of the FILCO, see if it'll find a new home.

the realforce keycap is ABS or PBT???

PBT with sub-dyed printing. Probably the highest standard in printing you can get.

Taobao.. I can't read chinese
I would prefer a new one though

How do I check their keyboard versions? They didn't even write it down lol

Well if I couldn't get a das, I would just get the filco instead. There isn't much difference right? Plus if I get Filco here, the warranty is active

I just wanna get the das because it's the first mechanical keyboard I know through an online gamer lol
The only thing I don't like about it is the shiny material I guess.. finger printssssss

You have been using membrane all these while.

How about giving Topre Realforce keyboard a try?

Err? Where did you get the info that I use membrane

I have a budget here so I don't think I can go anywhere further than 500

Didn't know you were not using membrane.

What keyboard are you currently using?

Try using Cyberclean. Should be able to get that stain off.

do you have any picture showing us? was it a skin watse or something like that? or the keycap coating as peeled off. provide us a picture and we could understand it better.

Btw, this is kinda off topic lol.

Realforce 87U 55G Topre keyboard review and demo



I have the same feeling with reviewer.

Except that I would have compared it to a cherry brown switches (ie. my Filco Brown in office).

Found some O-rings that can be sourced locally, free shipping too

http://malaysia.rs-online.com/web/p/seals-kits/0689596/
These are exactly the same size as the ones the people at GH got from electronics store, but not sure about the hardness of the rings
Price : rm12.80 for 50 rings

EDIT: 70 shore hardness. Not very useful

i have been using the Topre non stop for like 2 days.

The Keyboard is surprisingly good, as well as the typing feeling that it's given to me.

The Video above practically says it all, this is much more better than the Cherry MX Brown that i tried, the feeling is really smooth and tactile feedback is pleasant.

I think this would be my main keyboard now. Let's hunt some Topre Keycaps.... LOL

Is there any other Topre switch keyboards other than Real Force?

I am considering in getting another for work as my Filco brown kinda annoys my colleagues every now and then.

The Happy hacking keyboard Professional 2.
Uniform weighting, but a tad more stiffer than Realforce although both are claimed to have 45g keys
