That's the plan. Assuming German shipping isn't too expensive.

Why is this a problem?

I ask just before I only tried my All 45g and don't know how the variable may feel.

I'm tempted and my parents want to know which gift can they give me... :D

That is a very nice price but I'm worried about the black keycaps bothering me but I think it's just because I have poor light at night in my room.

It's really not a problem, it's just a personal preference.
Dark lettering is nice. I suggest you to learn to type without watching at the keyboard :)

Title: New Realforce Model 87U all 55g white
Post by: dvanaria on Sat, 25 June 2011, 00:19:55

I think this particular Topre model has all the best features of the different Realforce keyboards:

1. The all 55g weighted keys don't suffer from the annoying repeated 'a' and ';' problem that I've heard a lot of other people mention.

2. It's nice to have a light on the capslock key. I like to keep the keyboard in a standard configuration but find it annoying when I'm using an editor like vi and can't tell I've accidentally hit the capslock key until it's too late.

3. The numpad overlay is a cool idea, I often use the keypad on full-size keyboards, but like the tenkeyless more, because i can have the mouse closer to the keyboard.

4. The bright white keycaps and black lettering is easier to see in low-light. And the lettering is bigger and thicker than on the 86 series models.

It was tough to get this keyboard in the US, and I had to pay a lot for it, much more than I thought I'd ever pay for a keyboard, but I think it's totally worth it.

The variable feels awesome for typing. In fact, it feels so amazing that I consider modding my cherries.
