The 87U is available in Asia exclusively.
There was a Realforce color poll before, and the white won by a nose.

Cool!  Are the keys similar to the ones that come with the board...  Where did you get them?  Does anyone have black with high contrast letters?

Could you compare the texture of the red esc with the yellow esc?
I have an impression that those are different, at least with my blues.

Only if you send me a red modifier that would fit my HHKB. =P

They look the same and feel the same except it's a little shinier on the red one (darker color deflecting the light?).

Yeah, it's possible. Though the red looks more textured to me.
However the feel is nice & rubbery. Way better than the whites I had.

Thanks for  the picture.
Sorry, I cannot help you with the modifiers. Try to ask Julle, he is an awesome guy.

^ Haha no problem and I was just kidding about the modifiers. =D   Although it doesn't hurt if someone has one for sale.  I'll see what Julle says.
