I know about the VAT box

Thats not what im confused about. Its the conversion between uk pounds to swedish sek. Im pretty sure when i check the value of pounds yesterday it was like 9,42 swedish kronor (sek) for each pound. But when i check now, its 10,57. So clearly i must have done a mistake when checking yesterday, or maybe the sek is going down fast

It accounts for the missing value anyway.

You couldn't have accidentally picked one of the more expensive carriage options? That would show on the paperwork, but £207 is correct otherwise. That includes the VAT.
Currencies are bouncing around a bit but our European ones are mostly dropping together. It is possible that there is a fee from Paypal or your credit card company.

207 is correct. I was going to choose tnt, but after seeing the conversion price i went with the trusty royal mail on this one this time

No this has to be somewthing i mis clicked when checking pounds vs sek (swedish kronors). I usually check conversion rates on google and just type in gbp sek in search and the rate pops up, and i did it kind of fast, knowing that the sek was kind of strong against the pounds earlier this year, so i didnt pay it any mind at the time

It was super cheap to buy from england then, but not so anymore i guess. It doesnt matter really, cause i have wanted this board for so long now, and i'll pay just about anything to get my hands on it lol

~Blood~ · « **Reply #403 on:** Wed, 10 August 2011, 18:41:26 »

I wouldn't chose royal mail, ****ing thing drove me crazy.

Especially their tracking sucks so much its unbelievable for such a larg ecompany to carry that kind of website.

Ghostpixel · « **Reply #404 on:** Wed, 10 August 2011, 18:49:46 »

I dont mind waiting a few extra days now that i have waited for it that long anyway, as long as it gets here

Best case scenario this friday, but im counting on next week. They said on their tracking site that it "has been received at our international mail centre and is being made ready for despatch overseas. "

Ok, enough posting off topic from me in this thread ^^.

Eclairz · « **Reply #405 on:** Fri, 12 August 2011, 05:10:37 »

Paypal usually give the bad conversion rate unfortunately, so you actually have to include how much commission/rate that Paypal charge.

+1 (only variable weighted). I have been wanting to buy an Realforce 87U Tenkeyless variable weighted white (ANSI) for a while now. Is there any chance of you stocking them?

If you were to stock them I would purchase one right away.

Thanks,

Jim.

Another taker for RF ANSI - would also like an 87U, perhaps 55g, 45g or variable

Jim66 · « **Reply #409 on:** Thu, 10 November 2011, 05:12:59 »

Are there any plans to stock the 87U (preferably in variable flavour) Bruce?

Anyone knows where i can get hold of Topre keyboards in Scandinavia?

Bruce · « **Reply #412 on:** Fri, 11 November 2011, 06:21:34 »

Hi dj - Your best option for Scandinavia is probably http://www.keyboardco.com

Jim66, I'm not getting any new Topre models this year I doubt.
I would like to get some 87u nest year though.

amasokin · « **Reply #414 on:** Sat, 03 December 2011, 22:30:39 »

Hi,

Just a quick question : are the ISO Realforce 88 45g (UK/FR/etc...) you sell the equivalent of the ANSI 86U, or 87U ? I.e., apart from the two windows key, do they have the little perks of the 87U ANSI version : the embedded numpad and the LEDs in caps lock/numpad keys ?

If not, do ISO versions with embedded numpad and LEDs at least exist ? If they do, when do you think you'll be able to have some in stock ? I'm really interested by a FR Tenkeyless Realforce, but I absolutely want one with embedded numpad and LEDs.

Second and last question : why does your fullsize ISO Realforce have gold on black keycaps instead of the standard black on black ? Not really important since I want a TKL version, but just out of curiosity.

Thanks in advance, and congrats for your great job providing Europe with those fantastic keyboards. (I live in France and you're the ONLY EU shop where I can buy Filco/RealForce keyboards).

January would be fab!!!!

Your killing us (me) Bruce
I mean I would order from EK but I don't want to be stung by custom charges ...

Apart from loosing weight in the new year my new year resolution is to try Topre!

Definitely have my heart set on a black RF 45g ANSI (87U?) all rounder. [Money set aside for it]

ktkr · « **Reply #416 on:** Fri, 16 December 2011, 13:22:24 »

Bruce, do you have any interest/intention to offer the silent Realforces next year? I would totally purchase a silent 87U in black. :love:

Any plans to get new Topre models in this year? I would love to get full size keyboard in Swe/Fin layout without variable weight keys, maybe 45g or 55g keyforce?

Hi Amasokin
Sorry to leave you hanging so long. Truth is, we usually go with 87 for USA and 88 for European and so this gets me confused too. But they take off the windows menu key and it becomes something else.
Topre are very good because they can make a great number of variations and to relatively small MOQ - so there are so many possibilities. Ours don't have the embedded number pad (That was me, I don't really like them) or the LEDS, that was never thought about. And I doubt any were ever made.
We were shown the gold on black and liked it. It fitted also with wanting to get Topre into the more general office use arena, where sub printing is not well received. Thanks, and greetings to France.

ktkr
No, i'm not thinking silent this year. Topre only whisper anyway and I still have some gaps to fill in the whisper range.

Naku
I'm not likely to have any new ISO models in the first half of 2012.

fossala · « **Reply #420 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 13:30:53 »

What about HHKB?

Bruce · « **Reply #421 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 13:35:09 »

Can't do a thing with HHKB. It's not CE approved so I break EU law if I sell one.

fossala · « **Reply #422 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 13:37:11 »

Wow, why is that (not CE approved).

Bruce · « **Reply #423 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 13:50:17 »

I'm as mystified as anyone.

Bruce · « **Reply #424 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 15:11:05 »

Just to clarify, they never submitted the product for approval to my knowledge.

trax · « **Reply #425 on:** Wed, 25 January 2012, 16:32:19 »

CE, thats those stickers u used to see on cheap chinese toys right?
Like CE but the E would be a € with only one -

Now I see why EK gives no warranty to us.

Still, Id want to buy an ansi 55g...

I hate variable weighted keyboards and I also like to play roguelikes and Arma games, so "tenkeyless" type keyboards are no option for me

Maybe on second half then...

Btw... How those keypads work with games? Does those work just like standard keyboards keypad or is there some drivers ect. software needed?

Bruce · « **Reply #427 on:** Thu, 26 January 2012, 06:36:30 »

Hi Naku
The keypad should operate just the same as if it were still attached to a keyboard. There is some added function but the basic function is still the same.

Naku · « **Reply #428 on:** Thu, 26 January 2012, 07:11:49 »

Any keypad suggestions for Topre tenkeyless? Your Topre keypads seems to be sold out

Bruce · « **Reply #429 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 09:15:25 »

Ah, I need to restock them. Will be a month or two, but I can't recomend anything else. Unless you fancy the Filco. In truth I think only a Topre can realistically sit next to a Topre.

fossala · « **Reply #430 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 09:20:32 »

Is it possible for you to get some topre keycaps in stock?

Bruce · « **Reply #431 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 09:30:17 »

I'm looking at WASD sets Yes, but I think it will only be one colour at first. What were you after?

fossala · « **Reply #432 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 09:32:51 »

I want esc keys, if possible fn and control keys as well.

I'd like to buy Realforce all 45g US ANSI layout.
Will you stock any 45g model with US ANSI layout in the near future?

I need to check exactly what is on there.

The All 45g model we have coming is the SE05D0
That's a Realforce 86 in Black.

When are you expecting to have the shipment available at the store (days/ weeks/ months)?

Bruce · « **Reply #441 on:** Fri, 02 March 2012, 09:57:49 »

It will be 6 weeks on the ocean, add one for loading and unloading so i''d say end of April or 1st week of May.
All being well.

I'm not sure if it is the cheapest way, but both http://www.keyboardco.com and http://www.verkkokauppa.com/ are in Europe and reasonable. The Finnish site is a bit hard to navigate, but google translate helps.

Why do the Topre USA boards cost 20 pounds more than the European layout boards?
