Title: Looking for fullsize Topre 55g
Post by: omf on Fri, 04 October 2013, 01:20:48

I currently have the fullsize EK Realforce with variable weights and would really like to try a full 55g unit.  Do they even exist?  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I think the Topre Type Heaven (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,1&pid=za0100#) has identical weights for each key, although it's 45g and not 55g. I know for a fact they sold units without the variance in the past.

They do.

I'm considering getting a 103UB (SE02C0)..

I believe Elitekeyboards did carry them at one point, but they now only seem to be available in select countries.  I think they pop up on Ebay sometimes, but not too frequently.

They don't make new 55g 104 key Topres currently. If you ask around you might be able to find a 55g 103UB somewhere.

There is a 103UB for sale in the classifieds ATM.

I have a full size 103 ANSI Black Realforce with all 55g domes. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks for the responses, everyone.  I'd try the Type Heaven if it had 55g switches instead of 45g.  I'll keep looking...  (Oh, and I'm sending you a PM, keymaster.)
