Topre Realforce RGB and R2 cases: how similar?
« on: Mon, 04 December 2017, 15:37:55 »
Does anyone out there know how similar the Topre Realforce RGB case and the upcoming Realforce R2 case are? Like, could the cases be swapped for each other seamlessly?

I mean Realforce R2 hasn't come out in English layout yet so no one has their hands on it.

However judging from the pictures:

They look identical, also from a production stand point it's cheaper for them to use the same case.  So I'd imagine it would be very close even if there are minor differences.

But if you want a complete swap you'd have to go for the APC version (which has the cutout for the 4 keys top right).

Old Post, but I was wondering the same thing. Did you find an answer on that?
