Title: Model# of Topre Japan market multi actuation?
Post by: typo on Sat, 18 November 2017, 06:15:54

Anyone know the model number of a Topre Japan home market only keyboard?
It has more actuation points than the RGB and other unique features.
I had seen it somewhere on the net but now cannot find it.
I probably cannot get it but I would like to see exactly what it is.
Thanks

You mean the realforce 2.0?

FYI, Topre has a new dedicated website for their Realforce products:
www.realforce.co.jp

You're probably referring to at least one of the full sized JIS boards found under this link:

Thanks Guy's. I would have never found that page for the life of me. However it looks that they do not have 20 actuation points as some idiot told me. It is the same number of points, Unless there is something I overlooked? It could be the analog, but that seems to be a Type Heaven? This Guy gave a me a model number I lost it but I bet he was mistaken. There may be some special board that is not on that site as well.

Thanks for the link. Great overview.
The white/dark grey combo...hoping they'll do it in ANSI.

Topre said during the reveal of the R2s (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91649.0) that ANSI will be deployed in 2018.

Is that the analog? That might be it. Unfortunately very hard to get and I don't really want JIS but if I could get it I would. I do not understand exactly how that works. Any Topre should be analog,no? Anyone have an English page about it? I am not being lazy, can't find it. Thanks

It seems to has analog output for midi and xinput. You can find some discussions here.

I guess then I would just prefer the 3 points without software. I do not see how many points you could really feel. there is a tiny bit of travel and then collapse. I also do not know what is with the compact frame models and the regular models that seem more robust. Can't read Japanese :) The dial was actually cool though without the software. I would have gone for that for sure. Plus on the RGB because it is such a small difference without the software it is hard to tell which you are on.
