Can't call yourself a Topre addict until you've added a 55g Realforce  ;)

Looks like I also know what's next on your list. Welcome!

Huge Topre fan, tried many many keyboards... steelseries, corsair, coolermaster, logitech, ducky, deck keyboards, etc (Cherry Reds, Browns, Blacks, Romer, etc)

I now own three full size Realforce RGB keyboards, all modded exactly the same.. with the hypersphere silencers, small 0.5 mm spacers on the support stems (so I get the full key travel range), and lubed with thick "Finish Line Extreme Fluoro 100% DuPont Teflon Grease" (I use roughly 6 grams per keyboard). I want to go away from ABS, and switch all the keycaps with the double thick backlit PBT keys from Ducky.

My next project is to install USB-C support via a sparkfun USB-C breakout board with a 5-pin 2.0mm JST-PH connector, and a 5mm (ID) Magnetic Ferrite Core Cord RFI EMI Noise Suppressor Cable Clip, and a custom built zap cable with a QD 5-pin Aviator cable.

I've seen people wear out USB connectors on bluetooth mouse often, I don't want that to ever happen to my Realforce RGB keyboard.. yeah, I'm weird.
