Title: Realforce 91UBY (w/extras)
Post by: ironman31 on Fri, 09 September 2011, 20:36:31

I'm selling my rare Realforce 91UBY. I don't need it anymore since I have a US layout all-45g Realforce.
A major advantage this has over the other Realforce keyboards is the PBT space bar. Usually this key is the first to start shining, on this board that's not the problem.

Along with the keyboard, I'm including all the keycaps that came with it. Including the Black Escape key and black WASD (the 'S' has a dimple on it). I will also include a lavender WASD set and a red Escape key.

Note: the lavender set is of the older font, not the bolder ones found on the Leopold branded Realforce keyboards. Pictures of the differences are shown.

The price will be 290 Shipped CONUS. 310 anywhere else

EDIT: I am also open for any trades you might have. Just send me a PM or comment on here if you have something interesting.

I'm definitely interested in:
- Filco tenkeyless wrist rest
- KBC PBT 87-key set (preferably something in black)
 
SOLD

Hi

I noticed that you offered (on another thread) to sell a japanese keyset for realforce. I might be interested. Which one is it ?

I was just pushing the sale of this keyboard. You would have to buy the whole board to get the keys. Unless of course you can find someone who wants the keyboard with no keys

I just want it for those pretty caps :cool:

GLWS though a rare board like this doesn't come often

I really wish ansi boards had a spacebar that was split like this one so it could be pbt. The smaller spacebar also feels a lot better too.

Ok I assumed that you had replaced the keyset (I own a 91UBK, with japanese layout and dark yellow on black keyset. I thought the 91UBY came with black keycaps too, but I just realize that the "Y" in its name probably stands for Yellow...).
GLWS then !
By the way I totally agree with you, the small  spacebar feels really nice, much better imho than the large ones.

I bought it from a geekhack member here for 275, and that didn't come with the Red escape and Lavender WASD. So I'm loosing a little money here. To get them shipped from keyboardco, I think they were around 340-350 USD.

The spacebar feels great, but it's not stabilized. It doesn't need to be since it's only slightly bigger than the left shift.
I also has a smoother curve on the front edge than the new 87U's elitekeyboards sells. If I had a choice, I would stick this spacebar on my white Realforce.

Each time this gets bumped, I get a little more interested. I kinda want to try the layout. There are a few things keeping me from PM'ing you. First, I'm still waiting on GS4U. Second, I've spent a crapload on HHKB. Third, if I end up liking JIS layout, I would probably have to get all those Japanese HHKBs...

Look at it this way... It'll be pretty easy to sell your HHKB's here, at least the pro 2's. Maybe not the type-s.

Gah...I want this but am not sure if I could handle the spacebar and/or the ISO enter key. I don't think I could pay that much though. I'll PM you anyways :)

Is an unopened Poker PBT cap set in the category of "KBC PBT 87-key set (preferably something in black)" that you'd want in trade?

What about a pair of IBM mini SSKs?

What about a Bloomberg Keyboard with PSU?

And this I shall.


NOTE: To all those who close classifieds pages, could you keep the sold price posted in the OP? It's always nice as a reference.
