I'm bumping this thread to hear if anyone has seen reports from it? Any news about possible updates to the HHKB BT? I'd love if they added the possibility to run it via USB, or hide the batteries internally :)

The main takeaway from the event was the collaborative Realforce they put out.
The red ...

I know that one, the description says they are out of stock.

think we might be looking at separate ones, this one has no such information

I have actually found a black zhuyin one in taiwan. for now, i am working on getting the taobao listing translated. i'll report here with any new info.

I recently came across something that piqued my interest - a few people are aware of the Realforce 103Us that came with Zhuyin sublegends many years ago that 002 has documented on the wiki - from what i know these were primarily marketed in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. They seem to be very difficult ...

How much would an unconverted original caps APL unsaver go for? I'm wondering because the last one that I think publicly sold was the one on ebay for $1000+, but that was converted and the caps were from an IBM board of a similar age but they weren't originally on that board. I have an opportunity ...

in awe at the size of this lad. absolute unit

it definitely isn't smk, looks like a kpt variant/clone

As the title says... I am looking for a decent TKL 45g topre clone keyboard that feels the closest to Topre and is superb.

Is price the main reason you're not considering a TKL realforce?

Kinda, but the main reasons I am looking for a clone is because Topre does not make 45G TKL models and no ...

his price is high but everyone knows iso is not anywhere near as collectible as ansi

this auction has been up for many months now but the keyboard has really made me curious as to what alps are under those nice flat caps

v should have white, r should be cream, but as far as i know neither are confirmed to use them 100% of the time

I have one that has green sub legends, its not APL its something else ( i would be interested to know what it is ) and they came off in warm water so keep that in mind.

any pics?

Dunno if this floats anybody's boat but here's a Epson Business Full Keyboard(Topre JIS layout)

it's super easy, I'll talk about fromjapan since I use them but there are many other options. make an account at fromjapan.co.jp and paste the auction link into the box at the top of the page. choose whether you're planning on bidding (in real time, or 'sniper' at the last second) or just buy it out ...

Full-size rf with big ol' round bezels are still king though, I must agree.

Any changes for the HHKB?

none yet, but PFU mentioned they would take into account/consider any suggestions made at the meetup.

yep, this is a first for the realforce line. the 'standard' bottom row will definitely be something to look for in the future. The official meetup hosted by PFU and Topre is set to start in less than 2 hours, so we might learn more then. extra pictures:

PFU and Topre have collaborated on a special limited edition model of the Realforce R2, featuring uniform 45g switches and silencing, along with APC and a special 'carbon style' indicator panel.

It will be offered in both JIS and ANSI, black or ...

This HHKB may have a slightly botched logo removal attempt, but at $100 (which will obviously turn into ~$150-160 or so once all is said and done and it's at your door) It's still a nice candidate, you could retrobrite it and chuck a sticker on ...

The caps are ABS.

That's amazing this is the 1st time I'm seeing this.. Weird question, but can you post a video of the sound or something?

Just SKBM Grey/some clone

And just like you I can pull random listings to make a point too. Anyways, you are looking at a minimum shipping and fees of at least $50-60 unless you ship through surface and wait for 3-4 months.
