Exploring options of Realforce silencing, found some photos on which housing for purple sliders itself has a purple color. But I can't find any information about specific models, because most of them are purple slider is in the black housing(

Just look for silenced RF models. For example: https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rf104&pid=xf01ts (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rf104&pid=xf01ts).
From what I have seen, not all sliders and housings are purple... but the keyboard is silenced and the sliders all have the silencing ring on them. I know because I have one.

All silenced RFs have the purple sliders, however not all have the purple housings.
The housings don't do anything different, they're just a different color.

Gotcha, I forgot that the housings are black too.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't some of the silenced sliders black as well?
Here is a picture of my silenced 104U:

The 1u keys are purple sliders but the larger keys appear to still be black sliders.

Thanks. Of course, I saw this list. Here I'm trying to learn, maybe someone can say for sure which models exactly have a purple housing

The question here is purely aesthetic. I think about buying keyboard in the secondary market to harvest purple sliders, why not pick up one with purple housing ;)

Thank you, very important. Will need to consider. Most likely to make the entire tkl consisting of purple sliders need to be sure to take the fullsize source board

Very interesting topic - all my silenced RealForce models had/have the black slider housings with purple sliders, including a 108U, a 104U, and my newest 87U 10th Aniversery. Looking forward to learning why some might have purple housings and others not, maybe someone knows.

I have the 87U silenced Anniversary waiting for me at the post office. After 7 Topre boards, I'm pretty certain this will be the end game board for me.

Look for names that end with -S, which means it's a silence model = purple slider.
Eg. 104UW-S.
104 keys, not sure what U is, W is white, S is silence.
So 87UB = regular 87 key (tenkeyless) black model.

Thanks, man. But i'm about housing which contain slider, not slider ;)

Your translation to english didn't quite make sense
What hyde was saying is that any realforce board that has the letter "s" in the name/model number will have the purple stems.
The purple housings serve no real benefit to typing experience, and are really only different in color.
If you want the purple housings for the aesthetics of your board, then finding specific ones that have them will be difficult. I have been told older versions of boards have purple housings, while most new ones are black. but I do not guarantee this information
