Title: NIB Realforce 108UBK (var. weight, Japan layout)
Post by: ander on Mon, 13 August 2018, 03:00:54
NOTE: When I posted this, it was BIN $140. It's now been raised to $200—so not as "great" a find.

I believe these usually go for well over $200 (whatever that is in yen, LOL).

For someone looking just for the keycaps it seems reasonable ?

Huh—the seller has raised the price to $200. I'd hazard a guess they found out what these sorta keebs are worth.

Hmmm, I think I have a white/off-white version of this with all Japanese markings.  My only Topre so far because they're expensive!
