Title: [sold] Realforce 86U (White/grey) ~ 195 USD Shipped
Post by: demik on Thu, 01 December 2011, 18:38:38
Bought it off litster a couple months ago, used it myself for a little bit (great keyboard, but im looking for uniform 45G 87U now). hardly noticeable shine on spacebar, but you really have to look at it in a special angle to notice it.

anyway, looking to sell it CONUS only. paypal (gift) preferred, but will take regular payment if you pay extra fees. will ship priority mail with delivery confirmation. it does not come with the original box (litster didnt have it either when i bought it) but comes with original key puller, control/capslock extra keys and will throw in EK red esc along with original esc.

onto the pictures:

Nice looking board at a great price!  If I didn't already own a 45g uniform then I'd buy this in an instant.  GLWS =)

You're welcome and you should post the actual price from EK or something..  just for comparison so they could see how much lower this is.  Then it should move fast. =D

Well, here's the price for a black 86U (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rftenkeyless&pid=rf_se05c0). =P  The white one should cost even more.

Good form, demik.  Good form.

I only paid a little bit more with shipping so no biggie.  Extra keys and a puller would have been nice though. :(

You're only 185 dollars and 15 minutes away from awesomeness, give in to temptation.

Congrats to both buyer and seller!  This was my baby.  It was my first Topre, and since I said good bye to this 86U, I now have 4 other Topre keyboards.  It is absolutely one of my 3 favorite switches.  Glad it is going to a good home.  For less than $200, it is a very good deal for a Topre.  Don't forget that it has dye sub keys.  A set of used dye sub keys for Cherry could cost over $400!  And white/beige is a very classy color combo.  Over all it is a better built keyboard than most keyboards you can buy at this price range.

Yes, congrats to Gerk! It's a good thing you bought it, I was so close to pulling the trigger, which would have required a very lengthy explanation with the boss why I bought yet another keyboard...

Topre boards rock.

I'm good on that front, having just cleared out 3 boards from the collection.  I made particular note to have them packaged up and left the boxes in plain view for a couple of days so the wife asked what they were and where they were going so she is aware of the culling and the concurrent re-population :)

Indeed.  These were factored into my decision to buy it.  I love the form factor and the size of it all as well as the look at the quality keycaps and overall classic look of the board, I wanted to try topre switches, and then the great price put it over the top, so it was win on all fronts.

It worked quite well.  I told her I have another keyboard on the way and she said "What?!? You need another keyboard?"  so I reminded her than 3 just went away and she saw them in transit and she grudgingly stop complaining hehe :)
