Title: Realforce Lavender Modifier Set?
Post by: Zaskar on Fri, 07 February 2014, 07:24:02
Anyone know any place that might still carry the Realforce 7 piece Lavender Modifier keys?

(http://www.leopold.co.kr/data/item/1335779795_l1)

Elitekeyboards has been out for over a year, and I'm pretty sure leopold.co.kr is out, haven't seen them on Taobao for a while either. I'm hoping some sites in Japan/Korea or China might still have them, but aside from checking amazon.co.jp and Yahoo Japan I'm out of ideas.

I read here that Topre isn't making key sets anymore which would explain why all places that I knew of that use to carry them seem to be out, so if its not too late already then it is getting close. Anyone have have any insight?

Thanks!

Really? :D That would be pretty awesome!

By chance do you have a link or know a search term? Just searching for Realforce or Topre doesn't seem to show it in the results anymore like it did a few months back last time I looked.

Excellent! I just bought 2 sets of the Modifiers and WASD keys with arrows (elitekeyboards only has the non arrow ones in stock despite the picture) through a Taobao agent.

Seems only 3 left in stock of the modifiers so if anyone else was looking for them, not much time! :D

Thanks again

Which agent did you use? What was the extra cost on top of the Taobao price? Shipped to where? :D Sorry for the questions!

I ended up going with engtaobao.com which has a 6% service fee.

It was between them and yoybuy.com. Yoybuy's order page was actually really cool in how it recorded your purchase selection through taobao.com but it was having an issue with buying 2 different item selections from the same item link (selecting the purple modifiers and then the purple WASD keys from http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.98.Lwj9dD&id=14384988030 )
it would end up just duplicating the first order selection again.

There are two Taobao agents on this website as well: qtan (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=32072.0) and imsto (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41383.0). I can't remember if feng offers TaoBao buying as well.

Are the lavender keycaps still listed on that site? No results are returned if I search for "藍色功能鍵帽 七枚" on that page.
