Hi GH,
I am a new Topre Realforce 87UB owner, this is my first big spend on a keyboard. I'd like to say "Hello" to the GH community and hope you are as welcoming as I have read in the past few weeks.
I took a dive and purchased the Topre, as I thought, if I was going to buy a keyboard, I wanted one of the best. I really love it, it is so responsive and the feeling is amazing. Someone in a thread I read described it as typing on boobies, it's close, but yeah...

I really enjoyed reading the forums and seeing the customizations/special keyboard that all the GH members have. They really are quite impressive.
I hope to modify/add some color to my keyboard soon as well. I think I will avoid those nice looking CC skulls at the moment, they look good, but it seems it can be a very expensive hobby collecting key caps, so I will be patient and look for good bargains in the Classifieds.
Despite reading some warning it wasn't a gaming keyboard, I have found the Topre variable a great keyboard to play with. I understand the variable weight makes the key press on the edge fingers easier; playing SC2, I really like it as the 'A' key is the attack key and reminds me to keep moving and attacking. I can get use to it and not rest on it now.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome, hope I can help contribute to this forum!
