Yup, I wonder what's the story about them - have they been limited run, obsoleted, or what. An explanation that Topre are steadily moving into variable only may work as well.

Thanks, Bruce. Any logistical info you might get on the 86/87 uniform could be beneficial to this thread.

Of course, 87 yellow keys, all 45 ...... Super Yum Yum.

Umm ... that's 4 too many keys (91). ;-)

I had absolutely no intention buying a Topre until I saw 86U on KBC.

Going to put an order in soon. Damn you, Bruce.

My 91UBY has just arrived. Many thanks to Bruce and Rob at The Keyboard Company who responded to my emails very quickly. Lovely keyboard though it take me a while to get used to the having all that yellow in my peripheral vision.:doh:

Wait they are sold out already?

Goood damnit!

I was keeping on track with this constantly, when I was informed they arrived, I was surprised how quick it all went down (normally this stuff always gets delayed ...) and wasn't ready to buy yet (actually was thinking around/after christmas I'd decide, also depending on the availability of the x-armor)...

And now they are gone? Oh noes!

We are going to re-stock.
It was just a tester batch. I can't tell you too much but these are selling better than our UK ones right now.
Not confirmed just yet but I would hope to have more around about Christmas.

Since you removed the 91 UBY from your website, does this mean they are gone for good?

Too bad, I was looking forward to a Topre 91UBY or a variant with grey/white keys and same spring tension within key switch. I didn't even know the keyboard company supplied them until 2 weeks ago and by then it was too late :-(.

Second that. The sound of the capacitive switches is amazing and while i find the Filcos (for us Germans) overpriced for their pretty cheap Plastic-Sound i wouldn't hesitate spending the ****load of money it costs on this Keyboard (especially tenkeyless/white) as i would for a German-Layout HHKB as the typing on them sounds so solid and damped :(

Any chance for an all-45g tenkeyless ANSI or ISO layout RF? with 2 Windows keys (just so RAlt is closer)? Probably far-fetched, but I'd definitely buy that.

We do intend to build up a wide selection of Topre but we won't be getting an all 55g Full size in German for a long while yet.
Tenkeyless is my next big task.


I think that should be applicable to 45g as well.

+20 pounds shipping

260€ all in all.

Still undecided whether or not I should really get one, for the same money I could get a SpaceSaver and a Filco tenkeyless...

I have Tenkeyless Topre samples due in the next week or so.
After that it can be quite quick.
I need feedback on Switches, Layouts and Print type.
There are a lot of choices and I will have to Cherry pick.
