Post by: Ekaros on Thu, 16 December 2010, 12:19:30: I dunno, if this is intrest to anyone, but bit cheap compared to other options might be serious error, but has been up for a few days atleast:

Post by: db_Iodine on Mon, 20 December 2010, 04:55:22: It's always good to buy things you don't really need just because it's cheap. Perhaps I'll put an order for a few sets for my future Topre board.

Post by: keyboardlover on Mon, 20 December 2010, 07:43:31: Good idea. I did that with the first doubleshots round and it worked out fine for me.

(I sold them). :D

Post by: db_Iodine on Mon, 20 December 2010, 11:26:55: I'm just ordering one set because I'm sure I'll get a Realforce eventually. Also that key puller alone is worth the 2,40€.

Yep, the Topre keypuller is all sorts of awesome. Much better than the cooking utensil Filco has.

Get some one in Finland/Sweden/Estonia to work as proxy or mail them and try to get them sell those to you ;D

Post by: patmok on Sun, 09 January 2011, 15:26:20: Would anyone be able to buy them on my behalf and post it to UK please? I will cover the expenses.

I tried to get my Swedish friend to order it, but he can't read the Finnish site :(

You've got yourself a volunteer mister. As it so happens, I was planning on heading over to Verkkokauppa tomorrow to test drive the Realforce 105UFB (lucky me, they have it on display) and see if it would very much insist on coming home with me (the usual story: the Model M is not an option for a night owl coder like myself). I'll pick up a set for you while at it. PM me your address and I'll have them shipped out tomorrow evening. I presume you could cover the expenses via PayPal?

As I can see this turning into a "me too please" thread quicker than I can type "I have become a shipping agency overnight" on a mushy rubber dome I'll put it this way: I'd be happy to pick up FOUR more Blue-Lillac sets while at it. First come, first served, post below please and then PM me your details, deadline in 14 hours. After all the knowledge I've picked up here after realizing what keys I grew up programming on (and finding the board still in my dad's closet next to an even older friend), it feels good to be able to at least give a minimal little something back to the community. Thanks everyone! I'll be around fighting bankruptcy by keyboard like the rest of you. :D

Post by: yak on Mon, 10 January 2011, 16:17:02: Addendum: the price has also dropped to a mere 2 euros a pack at some stage (the Realforce is also down to 169.90 €, saw it quoted at 190 in earlier threads here... wonder if that is some kind of response to The Keyboard Company having also started offering them?).
