Realforce 104 in the US?
« on: Mon, 10 September 2012, 19:37:09 »
I've been thinking about shelling out for a full size Realforce board but really want the 104 instead of the 103, since I have the opportunity to buy a secondhand set of colored Topre keycaps. I emailed EK a while back and was told to expect them in "the coming days", but it's been a few weeks and there are no signs of the situation changing.

Does anybody know of an alternative way to get one of these in the US?

I wish elitekeyboards would step up and get some new products in already. I would really like to see some new boards.

Good call. I know they are a respected vendor, but does anyone have experience specifically with shipping to the USA? The website warns about customs, and if there were to be a problem is it easy enough to resolve from overseas?

I ordered a Realforce 86UB from Keyboard Company and didn't have any issues.

In fact I let Bruce know that the shipping was so quick I should have asked him to throw in some Fish and Chips.

Thanks. I'll give them a try.

Ah, damn. After looking a little more closely I realized they only stock the variable boards. While I didn't specify, I'm looking for a constant one.  :(
