Sorry if this is old but I just saw it and seems like it's the only way I can afford to try out Topre switches. lol

you can get them from Elitekeyboards since you're located in the US :)

Not for a while, he's out, supposedly until the 10th.  That means he'll probably have some in about August.

Personally I'm surprised he's sold out.  I have 2 topres and still can't justify spending that much on a keypad :P

I can't either.

Doesn't mean I won't, of course.  I think it was the pic of the one with the red Esc that turned me.

Old thread but this is out of stock right now. I will be on the lookout for one. Someone please send me a PM if this comes in stock. I am now interested in purchasing one for myself. Thanks.

If the keypad comes with that excellent red escape key, it would still probably be worth it.

Question : are those red escape keys of the same shade of red and black font of that of the replacement 87U/104U red key caps set they also produce and that is sold on EKs.com (which have recently been restocked)?

I would make myself a red 23U number pad with escape keys and the same 87/104U set...

Thanks!

(This surely has already been answered.. sorry for repeating events and wasting your typing energy :(, really)

Nope. The red ESC is darker.

here is the  comparison with the esc keycap sold on ek vs the the esc from the red RF keycaps set... defintely not color corrected, but should give you an idea of the difference in red.

I will also try to add the red esc that comes with a 87U.
