Title: Anyone know if they gonna release 45g Uniform Topre Realforce 104U?
Post by: Hyde on Sat, 01 June 2013, 01:56:05
I know they used to have that option on the 103U.  But ever since they switched to 104U the only option now is variable.

They do however have the 45g and 55g on the 87U models.  Anyone know if they'll release it for the 104U later on?

Yeah I really hope they do too, I plan to get a 104U in about 2 months. (First Topre yay !)

However I game from time to time so I think 45g will be better than variable.

Well there seems to be a 55g model available in Korea, model  http://leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1325296817 (http://leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1325296817).

There is a big list of all Realforce models at http://deskthority.net/wiki/Realforce (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Realforce).

This 45g uniform and full sized but the  keycaps are a different profile than normal. https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rf104&pid=yk2100

Yeah the ones I'm asking for seems to only exist in Korea and China so far.  Also the Hi-Pro have a taller spherical profile which I suspect I won't like.

I guess if I have unlimited budget I can always buy a Variable and a Hi-Pro and swap the rubber sheets.  Too bad I don't have that kind of money  :(

You could mod a variable into mostly uniform if you don't mind having lighter keys for the numpad and some function keys.
