New Realforces?
« on: Fri, 10 June 2011, 18:34:22 »
Hey guys.  Sorry if this is a repost.  I was doing my daily check of keyboard sites and saw something very interesting at http://www.leopold.co.jp under the Realforce 87U page.  There seems to be new model numbers which show white 45g (SE0900) and 55g (SE0800) versions of the 87U.  Is it possible our prayers have been answered? I'm going to email Bambi ASAP and see what information I can get about these two models.

Unicomp Space Saver (white) ~ HHKB2 ~ White Filco Red Cherry Limited Edition (Imsto Grey on White PBT + Group 3 keys + Awry keys)  ~ Realforce 87U 45g + Realforce 87U Variable + Realforce Numpad :biggrin1:+ MJ2 White Blue Cherry 87key

Keycaps
ClickClack Red Eye Skull *(2)* *(3)* *(4)*~ Black Eye Skull *(2)* *(3)* ~ Closeup ~  Topre WASD (Thanks Yak & DB!)

WTT & WTS
WTS White Filco Red Cherry Limited Edition (still deciding!)
Sold ~ Filco Blue Cherry; Majestouch 104 nonprinted keycaps; Noppoo Choco Mini 茶轴 (brown switches);  Topre 87u Variable ; Topre 87u 55g ; MY7000 Doubleshots ; Round 1 Doubleshots

Seems like they're the white version of the uniform weight tenkeyless (45 and 55g).

That sounds promising.
They also mention N-key roll over.

Maybe partially - they'll still be $400.

Not sure if it applies in this case but from the Korean leopold vendor they're mostly low-noise as well as regular 45/55 version and multi-weighted version.

Elite Keyboards is working on getting a white, uniform weighted Realforce but said that the actual weight was yet to be determined and they never mentioned if it would be tenkeyless or full-sized.
The Keyboard Co said it was working on getting a black 45g unform weighted tenkeyless.

Would also help a lot if we had a proper North America distributor that carried this years products, not last.

Yes, NORTH AMERICAN, not just "American".  *cough* Amazon *cough*

The Keyboard Co said it was working on getting a black 45g unform weighted tenkeyless.

I spoke to Bruce today from keyboardco. He say's they are aiming for around 4-6 weeks to get those black 45g unform weighted tenkeyless. I was hoping he was going to say he wasnt getting any ever as I really want one but the price makes me feel a bit sick.

Anyway got 4-6 weeks to get used to it.....still not 100% certain but from the video I just absolutely love the sound the topre makes....and I really want one. 45g across the board sounds perfect to me.
