Those are seriously nice looking. I really really prefer 101 key designs to the silly 104 key keyboards. Since I remap caps to control, and the bottom controls to windows/command (depending on system), I don't lose any capabilities.

I might have to actually think about these...

I had one of these before.  Cool keyboard, except the 30 gram keys (A) for example was pretty light.  

Didn't love it though and ended up selling it.

What's the key printing technology on those older boards?  It looks higher contrast than dyesub.  Doubleshot?

They are dye subs. It's in the wiki (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Topre+Realforce+Reference+-+all+things+topre#Realforce+Model+Reference).

Yeah, seriously. If I had known they would go for that low, I'd have snagged at least one of them. Ah well, I suppose.
