A few questions about realforce 87u

[Eliran]

Hello,i bought 2 realforce 87u keyboards recently and i wanted to know if i got a good deal for 160$(including orange keycaps set and red esc+purple WASD),and also what is the difference between the leopold realforce 87uw55 SE0800 and the newer topre realforce 87u SE08T0?

i just got into this hobby and im already addicted   

[Sup]

Yes

I can't say much about Topre, as I've never tried it. I can say with confidence, that it is a very addictive hobby indeed. I've spent... probably over £600 on keyboards since December. It's ridiculous, I have to stop myself.

@Eliran: As I understand it, the RF boards sold by Leopold are functionally the same as their Topre RF counterparts but with different color schemes for the keycaps and case.

The one you showed whose label was marked "EK" was a special edition all-45g variant made for Elitekeyboards (EK).

BOTH boards for $160, yes good deal.

even a single board for around that price, used, is market rate (fine deal imo)

Without a doubt.

2 boards for $160? $80 each?

That is quite possibly the best deal.

Yes.

Coloured keycap sets are not made any more, so you could have ended up paying $160 JUST for the keycap set!
