I'm considering jumping on this -- is it a 2 keyboard kind of day?

If you're going to link massdrop, link the guest mode so you don't have to be signed in to see the item and prices.

I know right....and I just bought a realforce from EK last week $:-\$

jalaj · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 16:26:53 »

damn, if only 55g.
i just want the dark grey mods. anyone want to trade keycaps? don't really want to buy a KB just for the keycaps.

hashbaz · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 16:34:22 »

Black + white/grey mods ... must resistyeeeah I'm in.

dustinhxc · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 16:35:06 »

I saw this in my Massdrop email. Im tempted to get one just for the keycaps..

found pictures here:

http://www.coolaler.com/showthread.php/306757-DuckyChannel暑假強檔之一-低調奢華的Topre-Realforce-104UB-DK-電容式(靜電容量式)鍵盤

so does the KB include two keychains, ducky keycap puller, and red WASD?

Amble · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 17:38:56 »

Buy it... you won't regret it, especially at this price. It looks even better in person. Mine only came with the red wasd btw. This deal has "forced" me to keep mine, which I don't necessarily regret.

Pacifist · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 17:41:19 »

What is the difference between this ducky model and a regular rf 104?

jalaj · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 17:49:34 »

Comparing to both 104uw and 104ub, aside from the dark grey keycap mods, case color, and minor aesthetics such as the case labeling style.
It's kinda like a 104ub mixed with 104uw keycaps, only darker color mods.
everything else is the same ol stuff.

Two tone keycaps.

Amble · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 17:54:29 »

That's basically it, other than the all 45g switches, of course. Also, the alphas on this board are as dark as the mods on the 104UW, which makes it blend much nicer with the muted colorway.

Pacifist · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 17:58:38 »

Ah I see. I have 6 more days to decide then

Glod · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 18:33:00 »

only 48 in their source stock to sell, i doubt you have 6 days, its already half sold

not going to lie this is a sexy keyboard. Topre beginners this is it bros.

I feel bad that EK is not sourcing these as they are a good company to deal with; On the other hand you can't lose money on a product you don't carry either..

jonathanyu · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 19:12:26 »

maybe it's time for me to get a topre

Flyersfan1 · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 19:37:20 »

104UB-DK from md or 87U 55g from ek $:-\$

Why not both?

tbc · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 20:19:24 »

full-size.....gross

so the normal package comes with keychains, but this MD package doesn't?

nar · « **Reply #26 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 20:32:43 »

Only 10 keyboards left

dorkvader · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 21:11:37 »

"this group buy is no longer available".

Looks like they're out.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #28 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 21:29:42 »

Wow.....here's hoping massdrop doesn't drop the ball on this one and cancel!

Glod · « **Reply #29 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 21:36:23 »

I doubt they would cancel, they said right from the beginning they had only 48 and......and then... sold out. its now in their successful group buy list.

pretty cool to those 48 who got them. i wonder out of those 48, who are new to Topre.

There was a limited quantity available, which isn't uncommon in drops.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #31 on:** Mon, 10 February 2014, 22:33:32 »

Yeah I missed that part. PayPal already charged so all looks good now!

Aw crap, missed it. Didn't realize it was limited quantity.

Nope can't excuse you for that. You're on a keyboard forum, time to read the threads.

I convined my friend who never tried Topre to get one, so that's at least 1.
On the otherhand, I don't even know why I am even buying this XD. I'm moving to Japan in a few months and I can get Realforces cheaper than that from Amazon with free shipping.

riotonthebay · « **Reply #40 on:** Wed, 12 February 2014, 09:38:18 »

30 more will become available at 2pm PST. Check the discussion comments.

I would say most of us are buying it because of the caps it comes with.

Yeah, a full set of caps on EK used to be $130.
And now they are all gone and this keyboard has a unique darker grey that you can't find elsewhere.

Amble · « **Reply #48 on:** Wed, 12 February 2014, 16:48:34 »

I suggest to get one of these before they go OOS: https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=hh_redesc

It matches perfectly with the WASD and red LEDs.

Ahlitah · « **Reply #49 on:** Wed, 12 February 2014, 17:25:40 »

I'm going to regret this, but I ordered one!

with shipping to Canada its not the greatest price... but oh well.
