Title: Realforce 87U: elitekeyboards vs keyboardco
Post by: odyssomay on Fri, 10 May 2013, 06:03:33: Hi,

I have fairly simple, but maybe weird question: Is this (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=981) (keyboardco) keyboard the same as this (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rftenkeyless&pid=rf_se0700) (elitekeyboards)?

The keyboardco one is listed as "beige", while the elitekeyboards one is listed
as "white". So I would like to know if there is a difference. Also, if anyone has
better pictures than the keyboardco official, I would love to see them!

Regards
Jonathan

The actual color is lighter than the keyboardco photo and while the elitekeyboards photos are a little washed out, I think they're closer to the true color.

It was me, Brian. Have sent you numerous messages about purchasing another keyboard from you, but you haven't replied. But, I'm a patient guy.

I'll order from keyboardco then - Swedish customs and taxes when ordering from the US is not something I want to deal with...
