Post by: ander on Wed, 23 December 2015, 04:34:47

Topre Realforce 91 Ng01b0 ubk w/Japanese layout (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Realforce91-Ng01b0-ubk-Topre-Japanese-/181969398130) (eBay)

"Barely used because the keyboard has japanese layout... Bought in Japan..."

They're asking $130 OBO, plus $18.65 shipping within U.S. Pretty cheap for something like this. I'd sure enjoy trying it. Love the cute li'l spacebar! (As you know, Japanese people are into small, cute things.)

I saw this the other night when searching for random Topre items. Definitely a good deal.

If it had an ANSI enter key, I'd take it.

Those extra bottom keys would be formidable for gaming macros, too.

Are those lasered PBT caps? I thought RF boards only came with dye-subs?

I believe the white one is dye sub, but what you see is normal for the 91 black version. The 91U 10th anniversary is dye sub of course, like the 10th anniversary 87U we are used to seeing.

Realforce does a lot of different stuff with their boards that cater to home markets it seems.
