Yellow and Red Topre Realforce Keycaps from Leopold Korea

Topre Realforce keycaps from this group buy: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?1859 ... ol-keycaps

The red keys below are not from the red set here. I bought these red ones from RiGS a couple weeks ago. They are of a slightly different shade of red than the ones from Korea

Hmm not bad, it makes that dull Realforce design look much better.

litster · 15 Jul 2011, 00:23

I think the yellow keycaps would look much better on a black Realforce. Contrast is not drastic enough between yellow and white/beige. Red would look good on either black or white. And the keycap set is really for 87U. So the spacebar doesn't fit my 86U.

If you want a set, you can email 한만혁 (David Han) kant1971 **a.t.** hitel **d.o.t.** net. He is with IOMania or leopold.co.kr. He is also the TypeNow Solid seller on ebay.

Better not publish his email here, spam bots will harvest it, he will get many penis enlargements emails.

Looks good. How much?

litster · 15 Jul 2011, 07:32

1 set is $147US shipped. But I shared shipping with 2 other people who live close by. So it was $135US shipped per set for 3 sets.

Seems okay. Thanks.

I got my blue and red this morning,
As reference, yellow is fantastic on black like rf91uby
And blue is also great on white,
Now im wanna buy another yellow set!
And also some info u may know,
The space bar of this set is only perfectly compatible on rf87 and hhkb pro2,

I thought that green G80 at pcwaishe was familiar,that was you.

Anyway, the blue on white Realforce does look really nice. Shame the spacebar does not fit

Crazy9000 · 17 Jul 2011, 06:03

Is the spacebar physically the wrong size, or are it's mounts in the wrong place?

litster · 17 Jul 2011, 06:08

It is the wrong size for me because I have an 86u. These sets are for 87u, which has 2 win keys instead of 86u's 1 win key. 87u has a shorter spacebar than 86u.

laggy-gaga · 17 Jul 2011, 10:23

I try to get myself a realforce 104
so far I know:
only realforce 87U and realforce 104U are perfect compatible for those sets,
u must know these are special orders for Korean....

At $150 a keyset I anticipate more color choices to follow.

Then better for us

I really liked the white Realforce. But I just sold it. I am going to a black 87U so I can put the yellow keys on it.

jinhan108 · 20 Jul 2011, 17:51

Looks amazing! too bad the spacebars don't fit 103/86 boards though:(

It will definitely look better.

Boil the spacebar for the lulz.
