Yes. It seemed to take a little more force than on Cherry board though. Also at least on my Realforce the keys are
very
easy to scratch.

I prefer the clippy puller for cherry and the wire puller for Topre keys.

Just be careful when pulling the space bar. The stabilizers are fairly delicate.

They don't look like much from the top of the actual keyboard. You would have to totally disassemble (well, at least to remove the case) the thing to see the "inner workings".
