Elitekeyboards will ship Topre Realforce 87?
« on: Sat, 16 July 2011, 01:10:47 »
Ok i asked leopold.co.jp for a topre 87u.


Leopold Korea forwarded your e-mail to us, as they have asked
EliteKeyboards to handle the 87U abroad.

EK will be distributing certain models of the 87U outside of Korea, as
soon as next week, however, the specific model you've requested will not
be in stock for another month.

Please check back with us in the second week of August or join our
newsletter for an availability announcement.


Best Regards,
Brian

OOOOhhhhhh nice. If I were to get a RF board, it'd be the 85u 45g. Hopefully EK will stock that!

Awesome! I wonder if there would be a repeat of the late summer Realforce sale, with added selection?

Is there a white 87u? If not I'll have to go with a 86u, hopefully that gets a price drop

There is a white 87U; no clue if they'll carry it though.

Damn, the value of my 87U is going to go down!

Since someone else seems to have spilled the beans ( :happy: ), it got this email last week from EK:

I'm just following up on behalf of Leopold Korea, as they forwarded your
e-mail to us. It has not been announced yet, but the 87U will be coming
back to EK later this month. Please check back with us in 1-2 weeks.

Lets hope they also get the "silent" models!

Does anyone really notice the difference between a 45g vs. 55g RF keyboard after the first day or so?  I just switched between Filco Browns to Blacks and almost gave it up because of the activation difference, but it became unnoticeable after a few hours.

Is it hard to type on the blacks?

I wanted to do the same with a hhkb. But no money right now for that lol.

And dude above, yeah I hate typing on blacks.

But I think I just like clicky keyboards.

I think it's 45g vs. 60g, browns vs. blacks.

I have a *white* Realforce 86U I am selling.  I was asking  for $210 in the classified section.  I am lowering the price to $199 shipped CONUS.  PM me if you are interested.  I want to get a black 87U to go with my yellow topre keycaps.
