Title: Used Topre Realforce 87U, all-55g
Post by: rdh on Sun, 27 September 2009, 12:55:09: An all-55g Topre Realforce 87U board is now up for auction on US Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Topre-Realforce-87u-ALL-55g-Limited-Edition_W0QQitemZ260482736038QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Mice_Trackballs?hash=item3ca5fb1fa6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14).

The auction info doesn't clearly show whether it has the Korean characters on the keycaps, nor the exact model number.

Post by: elbowglue on Sun, 27 September 2009, 17:49:05: You guys think a 55g topre 87u would feel better or the usual variable weight 45g/35g board from elitekeyboards.com?

I'm tying on a 70gram dell at101w - good board, little heavy to type tho.

Oh come on... That would be another Topre going to the fanboys. :rolleyes:

Not to worry though, if the early bidding continues this one will probably exceed my set price range by the end of the auction.

Yea I guess you could call me a fan of the Topre boards. I mean I have 6 of them now and would like to get a few more but now I'm only interested in getting either another HHKB Pro or something that is different than what I have. By different I really mean key weight or layout. In this particular case I don't have a 55g full stroke keyboard. I do have a short stroke 55g Topre which is what makes me want to try it.

Hey, rdjack21. You're a fanboy.

Post by: rdjack21 on Tue, 29 September 2009, 09:14:10: Oh I don't know if I would call my self a fanboy because I do like other switches as well. But I do love the Topre's. But it is true I'm the only one going out of my way to find some of the Topre's you can only get in Japan. I guess I just don't like the term fanboy.

No sympathy from me. I had to shell out $256 + shipping for mine which I purchased from EliteKeyboards.com.

Not surprising considering what is up for sale.

This particular keyboard is a little different than the one you got from EliteKeyboards and costs about $100 more new + shipping from Korea which makes it about a $400 dollar keyboard. That is why I was not at all surprised that it went over $200 last time to bad the buyer did not cough up the cash. If I had the money right now I would bid on it and as long as it stays under $300 it would be a good deal.

I just noticed that stlensbar is once again selling new all-55g 87U's on Ebay. They're up to $380, but shipping is now included.

Post by: rdjack21 on Wed, 07 October 2009, 09:02:22: That sounds about right. The keyboard it self is about $330 in Korea and it costs about $50 bucks to ship it to the US.
