Keyboards / Re: Realforce R4
« Last post by phinix on Sun, 22 February 2026, 13:43:17 »
I recently received my R4 its a solid feeling board overall but it has its problems. For one its a huge PITA to open, and nearly impossible to open without slightly damaging the case (might be skill issue lol). The domes inside are weirdly grippy like sticky tack, typing they feel exactly the same as every other oem dome. The dome strips (1-4) are pitted on the bottom, something Ive never seen before while the dome sheets are pristine, it could be that their molds are getting worn out.

Techbeezin did a great teardown and review over on KT if anyone is interested: https://www.keebtalk.com/t/realforce-r4-r4hd11-teardown/23658

What do you mean pitted at the bottom? What does it mean?

I'm wondering, I think I would liek to get a Realforce keyboard and mod it with mx sliders and everything that DES made for topre so far. I don't even know what its there, last time I modded RF was 3-5 years ago.
What is new now for topre? I mean what is good to use from DES to mod the boards nowadays. Definitely wuld take heavy domes, like 80-90g, but what about other bits they sell? Should I think of housings swap? Springs? All those pads etc?

Would R4 be good for modding? I know its PITA to open etc but overall, what would be better. I only modded R1, R2 and HHKBs.
Maybe should pick R3? R3 or R4, I dont want to do cable mod anymore, just have USB-C.

If I like 80g linear cherry mx switches (or 75g tactiles), should I go with 85g green des domes, or better go with grey 70g?

I'm into this!
Very nice!

Thank you!

I will do a bit of brainstorming to see what I can do. Thank you for your comment!

Lilies of the Valley was the last KKB set to have a dedicated 40s child kit with its own R2 alert row. I really appreciated the inclusion of that row, was an easy purchase as a result.

Also, your base kitting has but 4 key 40s, not sufficient for popular 12u layouts that we have been seeing lately. Please consider 6 key 40s if not a separate dedicated 40s kit.

Hi anson, appreciate you comment! I had a look at Lillies of the Valley, and I think a similar layout could work for this. Here is an initial 40s kit:



And then update the spacebars kit to include better 40s support:




Let me know if you have any further feedback! paperassgasket, this update is for you as well.

Not many.  I recommend picking one up if you want it!  Classic cases for beige F62 are gone and industrial gray F62 is almost gone.

Project milestone - this week the 6,500th keyboard shipped, for the new Model F and Beam Spring keyboard projects! 

Who would have known that we would reach that when the project started and I was getting quotes to make 50 F62 and 50 F77 keyboards!

Congrats! Now that you mention that both keyboards are out of production, how many of each do you still have in stock?

I understand, however an extreme pedantic like me would prefer the typical spacing of the F12 F row
