Seriously, Ripster, did Topre come **** in your cheerios or something? I get that you aren't a fan, but don't you ever get tired of ripping on them?

That's an awfully shiny spacebar for a guy who hates Topres.

I can't believe I still didn't buy it! HAH, I'm resisiting my primal urges to eat bamboo.

A ****poo? The realforce is strong with this one.

With current exchange rates the 87U would be quite a bit more than what the 86UBs are going for during this sale:)

Those Topre 86Us truly suck. The Special Limited Time Offer Edition 87U are the true RealForces.

There's really nothing that sucks about them actually. You're just jealous because you paid full price (nearly $300) for your 87U, and you have to justify it somehow. The additional features on the 87U hardly matter! Lol. It ain't a Ducky, so don't say it suckys.

Panda. You were supposed to keep the WW Buying Guide Wiki a secret.

I get the distinct feeling this thread, the PChome thread, and the WW Buying Guide Wiki means I won't get a Christmas card from Majestouch this year and will lose my EKB Fanboi badge.

oops...

ok well i'm flying to korea to meet mr.leopold and he assured me that he will gift me a 87u silent in exchange for some undetermined services which will be determined once i arrive in pyongyang.

I just got this 86u in the mail and I think I am now really in love with the Topre. I have the 103UB 55g weight one and this variable weighted one surely is night and day to me. I feel I have rather sensitive hands and the fact that not every key is friggin 55g, is a relief for me. I believe the 55g is going up for sale sometime next week for me. Anyone else got this keyboard yet? thoughts?

Majestouch, you magnificent bastard! I'm a victim of the "newly available" 86UB. Now, anyone wants a good deal on a brand new (I've opened the box but that's about it) Happy Hacking Professional 2 (Dark Gray) ? :wink:

Please let us know if it has LEDs. I have a feeling it's unchanged from the 86U.

I will (if its directed to me), but since I'm in Canada, it will be weeks (with the holidays and typically slow postal service) before I get it.

Plus I was already supposed to send you pictures of shinny Steelseries keys and never did, so I would not trust me if I were you!

Just to note, red pandas are actually more closely related to foxes than to giant pandas.

Anyone else got this keyboard yet? thoughts?

Got mine yesterday. So far, it feels crisper than my Realforce 103U, but that's probably just because it hasn't been broken in yet. The dark gray letting is awesome---dark enough to disappear and look badass, but just enough contrast to see it if you need to peek to find a symbol or something.

So, the 103U is now permanently on work duty (found my cubicle key so that I can lock it up at night), and I'm using one 86UB at home while I decide what I want to do with the other one. Most likely it'll stay in the box as a hot spare until I need it.

Also, the packaging from EliteKeyboards was meticulous. The shipping box was probably a little bigger than it needed to be, but each keyboard box was wrapped in its own piece of kraft paper. How luxurious. Overall, I'm very pleased with the transaction, but for almost $500, I'd be raising hell if anything was slightly off.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #134 on:** Sat, 18 December 2010, 10:23:46 »

Thanks for the update Matt - do any of the keys have leds in them? (Like the caps lock key).

mjacob · « **Reply #135 on:** Sat, 18 December 2010, 10:32:42 »

That's a negative, Ghostrider. There are no LEDs anywhere to be found on this board.

Received my 103 today. The 35(0)g keys have a surprisingly soft landing, was completely unexpected. So far I'm very happy with the keyboard, only because it feels completely different than the all 55g one I own. Under first impressions, I feel every Topre owner should try both. The 55g has a completely unique feel from any other keyboard I have tried, while the variable weight (though lighter and more pleasant to type on) feels more like a normal rubber dome. This isn't to say I do not like the variable weight, just that the 55g board has a more unique feel.

This is after only using the keyboard for about an hour.

edit: I feel like this post shouldn't be here...o well.

panda-R · « **Reply #143 on:** Sun, 19 December 2010, 10:21:33 »

The 30g pinky feels the mostest like a glorified rubber dome. However, the REALFORCE is REALAWESOME~~
