Title: ISO french realforce 105UB has pbt spacebar stock!
Post by: orpheo on Fri, 26 August 2016, 01:34:53

So I receive my keyboard realforce 105UB yesterday and it is really excellent. To my amazement the stock spacebar is PBT not ABS. It just looks and feels like the other keycaps in PBT.
FYI it's the custom model with laser etched gold fonts from Keyboardco UK in ISO FR with constant 45g.

I do love it!

So bad I bought in advance a PBT replacement from China! Still haven't received it though.

I wonder if they copied Matt30's design, or even bought a bunch of his space bars last time there was a sale :))

Seems odd that a third party made PBT space bars, and suddenly a RealForce comes with space bar.

Or perhaps KeyboardCo bought a bunch of PBT space bars and swapped it out before you bought it.

The texture and color is just exactly the same so if it's a custom job, it's really spot on!

Herehttps://deskthority.net/wiki/Topre_Realforce#Keycaps  (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Topre_Realforce#Keycaps) it's mentioned that ANSI KB have the ABS and I thought that omitting ISO would have meant that Topre co. Deliberately made ISO that way...?
