FS: (Oh no he didn) Realforce 87U Silent (White/Gray)
« on: Wed, 12 February 2014, 13:47:08 »
54305-0

Basically I *LOVE* love love love this keyboard - variable Topre is my favorite!  - but after half a work day I'm discovering two things very quickly:

1) I absolutely must have a numberpad.
2) It's too damn quiet - even by Topre standards.  Not really something to deduct points on - but damn... I don't work in a monastery... it's the most quiet mechanical keyboard I've ever owned but I need a LITTLE more noise.

So basically, I am going to sell it here and pick up a 104U variable.

So asking $225 shipped anywhere in CONUS for a board that is basically 1 day old.

SOLD

Have you thought about picking up an accessory number pad? I know Topre key
pads are difficult to find. It's tricky to use the imbedded number pad if one needs
a dedicated pad. Good luck with selling the KB.

I want to keep it as a single unit.  Also I need a bit more noise - the silencing works a little too well.

BTW: I'll knock down the price to $200 CONUS shipped if someone buys/pays for my Cherry board before Saturday.

I guess I don't quite understand. Are you saying that someone could buy this 87U for $200 shipped, if someone else buys your 8113? Or they can be purchased together for a discount?  :confused:

I'm saying that if ANYONE buys/pays for my 8113 before Saturday I will let the 87U go for $200.  I just want to get rid of the 8113 and will offer this as an incentive to make it happen.

The buyer of the 8113 will get first preference to purchase if they decide to also buy the 87U.  But if they do not buy it then the next person with cash will get it.

I agree. I love my 87U KBs; but the silent boards are too quiet for me too. I, too, need aural feedback from a keyboard.
