Then why is the case design entirely screw-less?
Also I don't see any warranty sticker.

Swapping a sheet of rubber is pretty straight forward to me, honestly there isn’t anything to screw up.

Also they can market them as replacement, or service parts.

KeyboardCo doesn't give you a warranty with your Realforce? I always got one from EK...

RiGS I never thought of that since I don't have plans of opening my Realforce 91 UBY. Don't want to make something wrong and break some plastic, anyway  I don't need to do it for any reason.

As a service part would make sense, it just oesnt seem like they would advertise it as retail. Even though I like them to

I'm definitely in for a black Tenkeyless 45g in Swe/Fi plus a number pad.

Not that I don't love the brown Filco you guys sent me, Bruce! :)

How is it going with the 45g SWE/FI Topres? Any estimates on price (with VAT) and when are you putting them up for orderering?

Bruce, can you give me some info about the ANSI Realforce? Is it gonna be the 86UB or the 87UB?
Is it going to have the virtual Numpad?

Quote from: Bruce;326876
No worries about the pole guys. Like Ripster said, they're not offering White now and it looks like we are going to be ordering it all in Black/Black.
Black with Gold was an option but I went on a hunch. I know about 2/3s of you are sighing now so sorry, but I had to take a punt.

It turned out to be a smart choice, as the black/black keys have the best texture.

Also any chance you could talk Topre into selling the spacebar separately?
That key is the most susceptible to become shiny. I think the demand would be just as high as on the red Escape, or the WASD keys.

I'm not sure how Realforce is on their warranty, but I know a lot of companies don't do stuff like this because they don't trust their customers with taking apart their product without damaging it.

You don't need to take apart the keyboard to change a single keycap. Topre already selling sets of keycaps in Japan, Korea and the US.

Hi Rigs. Sorry I have been quiet.

Just waiting to get the call to say they are ready, then it will be ship time and they are in.
Should be very soon now.

I am confused. Does "they are ready, then it will be ship time" mean they are ready to be shipped from Japan to you (meaning 2-3 weeks more of waiting) or does it mean you already have them, but they aren't yet ready to shipped to customers out from the UK?

Put the damn things on your website for order already so we can give you our money :)
