Title: Is this the silenced version of the 87u?
Post by: Crix79 on Fri, 27 January 2017, 12:07:51

https://www.amazon.com/Topre-Realforce-Keyboard-English-Layout/dp/B00542RTIU
The model name is SE170S as the silent model

So is this the silent model of the 87u?

Yes it is.  For Realforce silent boards, the model name always ends in S (SE170S)

Are you sure? On Amazon the realforce is 87UB but the silenced version should be 87USB as shown here:

They writed the wrong model number or they forgot to mention that the keyboard is silent and that is 87USB and not 87UB?

On Amazon it goes by the model number SE170S, so it is the silent version.  That keyboard also goes by the model name "87UB low noise", so that is probably why the title shows 87UB instead of 87USB. Always check the model number over the model name, since model numbers are always unique.
