Title: WHere can I now buy Realforce R1?
Post by: phinix on Fri, 22 November 2019, 15:21:35

I noticed that keyboardco stopped selling RF boards.
Ideally SE08T0, 55g beige.
Where can I now order one?

Looks like Amazon still has R1 in stock. I prefer the larger bezel and feel of the case, so I bought a spare one when I saw the R2 release.

...and here's the 55gm weight one (my preference):

Sorry, forgot to say in Europe.
And new.
Buying from us makes it $300 purchase...

I'd just keep an eye on eBay.  When people auction them off instead of asking some ridiculous fixed price, even the silenced ones barely scrape the $200 mark.  I don't know how eBay's international shipping program rates are, but I've sold quite a few things to people overseas, so the rates can't be too horrible.  There was a guy on Deskthority who sold an older Realforce without Windows keys for just over $100 recently.

What layout are you looking for? US? UK? Nord, or something else?

Smartimports and ask the dude to devalue the package. I did that 2 times buying Topre boards from him. Or otherwise /MM

Yeah, then Amazon is probably your best bet. It probably won't be any cheaper from mechmarket because nobody wants to sell anything lower than retail (especially Topre boards) and customs/shipping will be more expensive.   
Also a terrible idea to devalue your package, if it gets lost along the way you're out of $200+. Don't be a cheapass and you won't regret it.
