Title: Realforce 10th anniversary model released in Korea
Post by: kant1971 on Wed, 28 September 2011, 00:21:19

[ATTACH=CONFIG]27456[/ATTACH]

Realfore 10th year anniversary keyboard released in Korea. It's first release as 10th year anniversary Realforce model over the world. (it's not clear to be released or not to be release this model in other countires)

It use a diffrent color keycap like a sky blue as functional keys and some medium bright gray as character keys. As my thinking, it's quite cool, definetly rather than Realforce black model. :) Also it use keyboard's case coating like a HHK Professional II. So it give a some rather coloring and feeling than existed Realforce keyboard. Red color LED is installed in this model, it is not bad feeling with considering color combination of this keyboard.  


All parts except above mentions and price are same to existed Realforce models.

Total six models are released as a KR printed 87 regular, diffrent 55g, slient and US printed 87 regular, diffrent 55g, silent models.

Thank you.

@kant
What is this keyboard coating that you speak of? Is it on the keys or on the case?
I looked at the product page at iomania. I don't read Korean but from the pictures, is there a give away of Puple WASD + Leopold Key Puller + Yellow Green Blue Modifiers + Cyber Clean?

@kaiserriech
I mean case coating. I modified posting. :)
may be presented some colorful keycaps (WASD purple, Function keys 12key keycap, Yellow Green Blue modifier) to Korean buyer. But it provide only 100 persons as event.

"10th Anniversary"


Who made this Ads ? Leopold, Korea ? Right ?
As usaul, they are full of Buuull****s.

The very first model of Realforce was Japanese version 106keys, 2001 Spring.
The very first model of Realforce in Korean market was year 2004, May (101keys).

So, for me, that Ads sounds like;
" Happy 57th Anniversary of the Japan Self-Defense Forces !!! "
" Hail to the Emperor of Japan  !!! "

Leopold is nuts.

Hi Hamblet!  You are back!

And I just ordered one (variable weight) from kant.  Oct 6th is the ship date.

Post by: kaiserreich on Thu, 29 September 2011, 02:13:15

@ hamblet, I don't understand what message you are trying to convey here.
First Realforce released in 2001 in Japan.
Since this is 2011, they released a 10th anniversary version. From what I have heard, this is a collaboration between leopold and Realforce.

What's wrong with any of this?

Title: Realforce 10th anniversary model released in Korea
Post by: Hamblet on Thu, 29 September 2011, 03:33:13

My point is..

That is a Japanese birthday party.
That is not a Korean/US party.
Let them enjoy their party.

You idiot Koreans are just 7 years old.

Say Congratulations to them !!
Do not sell those stupid souvenirs under that reason in Korea.

For your reference,
The first US version (101 keys) hit the market at 2003.

It looks super cool but I don't see myself paying again near 320€ for another Realforce 87U which is not 45g just for the cool Keycaps.

They could sell the keycaps separetely then I would buy them too :D

BTW Where the hell are all that keyboards that were suposed to hit the market for the 10th anniversary too?

So I have had my 45g 87UW for a few days and been typing on it at work daily since, while using my 87UB variable at home.  For *me*, they are not very different at all once you got going on either (e.g. typing pages of text).  Now if you have super strong pinky fingers then I suppose it would be weird.  But if you are not always bottoming out, it shouldn't matter.

I don't know where you are located. But unless you are in Korea, you I doubt you are, you can't buy from iomania.co.kr or leopold.co.kr.  They don't ship outside of Korea as far as I know.

If you want to order an 87U anniversary edition, PM kant1971 here on geekhack.  The keycaps that you just ordered through the group buy thread here are also available through kant1971.  Here is a link to the keycaps on iomania.co.kr (http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ko&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://iomania.co.kr/frontstore/main/sub_catalog.asp%3Flevel%3Dyes%26mother_catalog_num%3D103895%26catalog_num%3D179787%26design_spin%3D1%26mart_id%3Diomall%26m_name%3D%C5%B0%BA%B8%B5%E5%26s_name%3D%C5%B0%BA%B8%B5%E5%2B%BE%D7%BC%BC%BC%AD%B8%AE&usg=ALkJrhjfQ9xQdPny5Tl2mlPAMrlaVccVuA).

You could order an 87U and a set of keycaps without paying extra shipping for the keycaps.

It is hard to say how limited it is.  No one knows except Leopold.co.kr and Realforce in Japan.  I would like to think that it is limited.  Somewhere here or on deskthority that I read it is something specially made between Korean Leopold and Realforce in Japan.  I casually searched a few days ago and I didn't see any anniversay edition availabe on the Japanese sites I searched.  

The body of the keyboard is the same as the regular 87U except it has red LEDs instead of blue (really not a big deal).  The real limited feature at this time is the colors of the keycaps.  There are realforce keycap set you can buy, but so far they are single color per set (blue, orange, white, yellow).  This anniversary edition has a blue/grey two-tone color combo.  It the grand scheme of things it is not that big of a deal.  But I would like to think that its resell value would hold up well, especially if it is sold out later.  

If you don't already have a Realforce, then I would say buy this.  If you already have an 87U or money is tight, then don't get it.  Don't over extend :-)

Guys, this 10th anniversary thing is just a marketing gimmick by Leopold. If you look at the Topre official site, the only official versions are the variable force ones (86U 103U what have you), the rest are considered "Customized" Realforce keyboard requested by different keyboard vendors. If I understand it correctly.

Yep, South Korea and the USA both use ANSI layout.  You could say the same thing about all the 88-key ISO versions that keyboardco.com sells.

Super nice looking board. I really need some of that cyber clean. The shiny coating on these Leopold Realforce keys can get kind of greasy.

Let me know how it does. I'm curious if it leaves any residue behind.

Silent is over-rated in my opinion.  When you buy the silent version, you don't buy it for your own self.  You buy it for people who might sit next to you while you type.  Unless you type in a crowded room that is super quiet, silent is pointless.  The regular version is plenty quiet.  Quieter than my Filco red.  And part of the enjoyment of typing is the positive feedback you get from your fingers' feel *and* the keystroke sound your ears hear.  

Also, the silent version's key travel is shorter (maybe 2mm shorter?).  That would not be what I want.

A Family portrait of my 87U keyboards.

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=28440&d=1318392255)



It is very easy to open up Realforce keyboard cases.  So I swapped the top cases around.  The white/beige keycaps  look very nice with a black body.  The grey/blue combo looks good with white body as well.  Yellow keycaps don't work with white body.

Received mine from Kant very quickly. It shipped on October the 6th from Korea and I got it in DC over the weekend! Sorry for the blurry pics; my iphone is my only camera atm. First picture is the anniversary edition and my 45g board, and the second picture is the anniversary edition with the extra keycaps, cleaning cloth, and key puller.

Take the last photo, switch the white body with a black one and substitute the blue keys with the yellow ones, and you have a board that really is too awesome for words.

I am really liking the white/grey keys on black body combo and  dark grey/blue on white body combo.  

It seems kind of random to make this anniversary version's pinky keys 30g weight.  But the pinky keys feels the same as the regular variable (35g/45g/55g).  I can't tell the difference.

What did you guys actually pay?

With EMS shipping plus German tax it would be 340€ or ~470$

When shipping is so expensive yet a flat rate, it's a shame not to order some extra goodies from iomania.

I did.  at the same time I order the anniversary edition, I also ordered a Leopold tenkeyless bag for $39 without additonal shipping.  And $39 is the cheapest I can find.

Got my 55g anniversary edition with acrylic roof and wood palm rest. The acrylic on the roof doesn't have rounded edges like on my full-sized roof from EK, bummer. No yellow Ctrl or non-printed top row keys, guess I ordered too late for those. Did anybody get the yellow controls at all? Anybody willing to part with the 12 function keys for the right price?

Forgot to mention, WAF went way up after I parted with the lollipop.

In the bottom picture on post 64 you can see there is an LED on the left control key. Why and how do you activate it?

Thanks,
John

But why wouldn't they have the small key in the corner have "caps lock" printed on it when it has a window?
