will/might Realforce make a new 55g uniform full size topre board?

[Special K]

I realize this thread is probably pure speculation, but what are the odds Topre releases a new 55g uniform full size board?  They had the 103UB, but then it was discontinued and Topre never made a 104-key replacement.

Highly doubtful, but you never know...

Would be nice!

[jabbon]

would love it....love full size keyboards and I use a lot the numpad.

I'd buy one too if they do make it.



I had to make my own 45g 104U but I don't think there's an easy way to do it for 55g lol.

From scratch you'd have to sacrifice two 87U 55g's. It would be rather expensive.

it is time that Geekhack aims to get Topre parts directly from Topre Japan.
I am pretty sure they would provide the 55g mats if enough interest is out there.

That would be amazing. I would love to have a sheet of 55g domes so I can try them on my HHKB without  taking apart my Realforce.

I thought this has already been tried before and Topre wouldn't give us the light of day?

I'm thinking that sounds  about right.

So, who speaks japanese here?

Actually I just noticed there is currently a 104 key 55g uniform, the 104UKB:

The only catch is that it has Korean characters (although it looks like they are printed in addition to the English letters), plus I'm not even sure where to get them - I was only able to find the white version on ebay for $350.
