Title: Topre "REAL FORCE"
Post by: PointyFox on Thu, 03 October 2013, 13:00:46: What is a "Topre REAL FORCE" and how is it different from a "Topre REΛLFORCE"?

I found this from the Realforce site. It looks very similar, but the badge is different, and there is a modifier key with additional printing.

Yeah, this was an intermediate logo. It came just in between "Topre REΛLFORCE" and "Topre cloud-0-bewbs".

Post by: PointyFox on Thu, 19 December 2013, 13:27:45: Anyone know about this? Most of the ones I see for sale now are "REAL FORCE".

I think there are just a lot of companies sticking Topre switches on boards and calling them whatever they want. I've seen some that say Leopold on the bottom.
What would be the best brand of Topre keyboard?

Not really. The realforce tkl boards are very well built and have decent key caps to start with.
