How can I acquire a Topre Realforce 104UB-DK in the US?
« on: Mon, 15 July 2013, 12:13:42 »
So, I've heard that this (possibly limited edition?) Topre keyboard is releasing this month in Taiwan, review here:

http://iqmore.tw/topre-realforce-104ub-dk-capacitive-keyboard-review

I've been looking for a 104-key 45g uniform layout Topre board for some time now, but as I can't read Chinese I'm having a hard time trying to figure out if any of the online retailers that will carry it will ship to the US.

For example I found it here:

http://www.inpad.com.tw/goods.php?act=view&no=9725

If anyone can help me figure this out, or give me any ideas about how to import this keyboard I would be grateful.

Nice board, love the color scheme. Google Chrome will translate webpages to english for you. Hopefully that'll help out a bit.

You might be able to ask a forum member who's capable of ordering from Taiwan and asking them to order it for you and ship it to you.

I think Qtan will do something similar for people although I'm not sure. Either way, it's a thought  ^-^

It translates to roughly $285 w/o shipping by the way.

Yeah I also love the colors scheme.  Good idea about using Chrome, I may try to do this tonight and see what I can find out.

Yes I'm aware that it's expensive, but I'm willing to pay a little extra to own one of these babies.

Seeing as I am a brand new member of geekhack (I've been lurking a while), I wouldn't feel right asking people for favors. 

If someone were offer to do this however, I would consider it.  ;)

Qtan does it for a fee. It isn't a favor, it's business :))

lol, if you buy one from qtan, you will owe him a favor.  JK, like the earlier poster said, qtan is a retailer, so don't worry about buying it from him.  Plus he is a great guy, or seems to be anyway, and will try to get you what you want. 

Also if you do get one, please post here and let us know how that keyboard feels and performs.  It looks like it's a RealForce made by or distributed by Ducky, which is kind of strange, but I would like to know what it's like.  As for the price, well, what can you do?  This is a hobby after all, and hobbies get expensive once you get obsessive enough about them.

It's not that strange really. Ducky, like Leopold in Korea, is a distributor of keyboards, aside from making and selling their own brand products.
