realforce colored keycap sets?
« Reply #50 on: Fri, 24 February 2012, 21:13:08 »
Just looked at my new sets and noticed that the side label is different now. Doesn't have a Leopold logo on it any more and instead says 'Topre Corporation' and has a bar code. However, the label is glued on top of another label on all three of my boxes, so the old Leopold one might still be under it.

Also, the model numbers have changed. Used to be that the printed sets were XF0100KT#1 through #5 and the blank ones were #6 - #10. Now the blank ones are #1N - #5N, or at least I think they are, I only have blank yellow #4N. If anybody got other old blank colors, care to check your labels? Of course, all the logic breaks down for the new lime green sets, so they are #11 and #11N.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything. The caps are still exactly the same.

Leopold's anniversary 87Us are mostly Hangul, they only have English in variable. IOMania is completely out of English ones. They are pretty limited alright.

The lime green sets haven't shown up in any of the usual places, so they are definitely pretty new. You won't find them cheaper than on EK though, and restocking might or might not happen.

Anyway, the main lesson of GH is to err on the side of buying.

I think the barcode just changed since Leopold doesn't sell the blank ones this time. Only the printed ones are available as far as I know

Anyone else disappointed with the colors?  They're all so light and bright...they just scream for attention like a fruit loops box to a child.  

I would like some deeper/darker more subdued colors...guess I'll have to look into the ritdye options for what I want.

You probably want this green, I personally like the darker green also

Looks like the Orange and Blue Topre sets are now back in stock on EK, if anyone's  interested.  I'm not sure if the Red was sold out previously, but there also available.

  • Topre, or not Topre? That is the question.

I got a set of the blues a few weeks ago and just received the yellows and reds.

Awesome!  I really wanted the lettered blue set but didn't think they would be back so soon.  I was literally going to EK to consider picking up the blank blue set and they had the lettered version in stock.
