Title: Where to buy Realforce 87U Tenkeyless "Silent" Black/Gray?
Post by: whizz on Tue, 16 August 2011, 11:01:04
KeyboardCo told me that they will not have it in stock in a few months, EliteKeyboards did not ever reply to my mail. Only site where I can find it is Leopold.co.kr, but I just cannot go thru this korean language and I red that they are not allowing int. credit cards. Is is possible to buy it (I am located in Europe)?

You can try using a broker : http://www.buyfromkorea.kr/ (http://www.buyfromkorea.kr/) . If I'm not mistaken, EK said they would get other 87U models later this summer.

Good luck! It is going to cost you an arm and a leg.

A liver would be a fair trade for a new silent 87U... And kant1971 (he is a member here) can also get you one, but again, it's not going to be cheap!

No, he can't, as he doesn't have any silent models in stock.

Last time I checked (mid-July) he could get both the 070S and 170S (for around 360USD + shipping).

Good to know The Keyboard Company will have it.
You mean Elitekeyboards? They told me that they will NOT have it for at least few months.

But I think I can wait for the "late-summer" if Elitekeyboards will have it.

Hey ripster probably a misnuderstanding becase English is not my native? They told me that there won't be any new ones for a few months at least. I hope it is clear now.

There was a thread on this subject a while ago, available here : http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?19200-New-Topre-Realforce-87U-all-55g-weight-model-SE08K0&p=368531&viewfull=1#post368531 (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?19200-New-Topre-Realforce-87U-all-55g-weight-model-SE08K0&p=368531&viewfull=1#post368531) (it looks like I dreamt the part about "later this summer").

Good to know! I guess we'll have to wait for EK to offer them.

Last wednesday(6 days ago) he told they had stock of the Hangul Low-Noise. Well maybe it just has sold out.


BTW after I sent him an email to accord the payment I didn't receive any email response, still waiting to make payment for it.

Thanks for the information! Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.
