Well, Leopold convinced them to use the 10AE Grey/Blue on their fullsize which I am using, and they have updated the JIS sets to have flat winkeys along with these new ANSI board sets that we have, so it's possible we will see the introduction of some new Realforce ANSI sets outside of Korea in the future.. but it may only be for a limited time again.

My only issue with these less i'm mistaken is it is not offered in a TKL version and FullSize boards aggravate the hell out of my shoulder.  Were they do to a TKL version i'd likely eventually bite for a TKL brother for my Realforce 87u 55G.

Not having a 55g version is another serious omission.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

True that is one i had not thought of though one i can live without since i still use the HHKB  Pro 2 and switch back and forth to my 55g RF without too much of an issue.  However full size boards just irk the hell out of me in common usage it's one of the only reasons iv'e held out so long on a model M since the SSK boards are just so damn expensive.

I was part of the 55g camp, but after switching back from the Ducky Realforce to 55g, I think I prefer the 45g silenced over 55g non-silenced.  Just so much more refined in my opinion.

Still very curious about 55g silenced, however.

Thus far, I have come to the same conclusion - I am finding more enjoyment with the 104UB-45KBS over the RF87U 55G in my testing over the past week or so.

I switch between my HHKB and all sorts of other keyboards (currently an SSK at home and MX clears at work).  I also have a board with MX reds.  The reds are waaay too light, but I can tolerate the HHKB.

Makes me wonder whether I'd like a 45g TKL Topre board or not.  I think I'd probably prefer a 55g one, which is what I'd buy if I had the money.

I also picked up a blue/grey 45g board from widebasket.  I didn't know something could ship so fast from S. Korea to California!  This guy is legit.  I wanted a uniform 45g silenced full size board and the Ducky Taiwan was interesting to me, but I knew I would eventually want to change out those keycaps which would have added $100 or more to the cost of it.  I mean those Taiwan edition keycaps are as white as the singer from Winger's teeth...  that's how white they are.  Blinding.

Last I checked there was only one left so maybe shortround got the last one.  He may get more in stock, however.

The only way I'll look at Topre again is if they sell a 30g 87UB silent for under $250 shipped.

^ not bloody likely.  Currently waiting for MechanicalKeyboards.com to stock the PLUM 84 35g silent.

It had to be the last day or two that he had them in stock.  Maybe he will re-stock considering he sold them all.

OK I see that the Ducky RealForce Taiwan Edition has been sold out for awhile, so I thought I'd throw out this question -

Is there only going to be one "run" of these boards?

I have convinced myself that I want a full size RealForce 45g Topre board, preferably a 104 ANSI model, but I don't see any out there for sale, new. I'm tempted to get a Type-S 45g 108 JIS model because that's what I see is available for purchase - and the colored key caps for 108s are way cheaper than the English 104s. I am finding that I can adapt to the slightly different layout of the JIS model, as my main board these days is a HHKB Pro JP.

Would love to see a Type-S 55g RealForce 104 board made available!

That was exactly what sold me.  I knew I wouldn't keep those super bright keycaps if I bought the Ducky Taiwan.  Besides, you only need one kidney right?

So would anyone happen to have a Ducky Realforce in 30g they would want to trade (or sell) for a Ducky Realforce in 45g, or am I going to have to go hunt down a Chinese YOTG board? :P

I like the 45g model, but I think I would prefer 30g domes.

That would be pretty sick. Pictures don't do this board justice for just how clean it looks on one's desk. The bright caps are amazing, imo. :) It'd look nice in TKL layout.

It's 55 gram.

I had a friend over a few days ago who is not into keyboards at all. I sat him down & started putting keyboards in front of him - "This one is MX blues" - "This is PCB mounted MX blacks" - you know how it goes...

I set this Realforce in front of him & I just wish I'd been filming or at least had a photo of his face when he pressed a key on this keyboard. His first question was "Why haven't I heard of these Topre switches?". Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it.

As a newbie to Topre, but a lurker on the subject for a while, I thought the kerning issue was typical for Realforce key cap sets.

Nice, very nice. I'm the opposite. With these I want to experience 30g domes. Don't get me wrong, 55g also sounds nice, but I think tactile switches aren't really my thing, from using MX and Alps and 45g (and variable weight) Topre. Alps SKCM Brown and Green are very Topre-like, but even heavier than 55g, so to me, going the other way, with something lighter would be more unique.

I do believe it was this review that first clued me in on the issue:


As far as my plans for the Topre lyfe; I don't plan on going too far down the rabbit hole. I actually really like the look of the Taiwan Edition. My only desire is to have 30g domes instead of 45g.

norbauer's aluminum NT case is a tempting proposition, but that'll open up way too many doors for splurging :P

This post convinced me to buy one. Good job OP, now i am $250 poorer.
But everytime I am sad, I type and I am ok again.
Surreal board really, the nice blend of build quality, the badass sliders, the keycaps and the typing experience is just brilliant!

Welcome to the club, man! The asian market seems to have a bunch left around. Much harder to find in the states. But yeah, I like the Ducky Realforce a lot!
