Topre REALFORCE RGB Review - A Keyboard With Capacitive Switches

Have a Leopold FC660C with Topre 45 gram switches. Topre switches are amazing. Personally, if there was a Realforce RGB keyboard in 66% that would be pretty much the best thing ever.

$289 for rubber domes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). No thanks.

I wish they came with Nordic layout. I am stuck with my Razer BlackWidow Stealth..

I've been waiting for this...Literally just ordered one!

After using Type Heaven for about twenty seven months, I've been wanting a Topre keyboard with RGB lighting. Now, my prayers have been answered. This Realforce RGB definitely going to be my next keyboard :D

Typing this comment with this keyboard <3

This review litterally sold me on buying one. Just a heads up to any Aussies interested the keyboard is $40 off on PC Case Gear While Stocks Last. Your welcome

Or you could just buy second hand topre for like next to nothing.

am I the only one that hates toper switches they feel like membrane keys and they don't have a high enough or hard enough actuation

This is the 11th video praising this thing. I've just ordered one, wish me luck.

Lmao I just looked up the price for this thing. Forget it.

What kind of wrist pad is that at the end?

The thock on this topre keyboard sounds like poop, I think even the novatouch sounds better.

Just ordered mine. Holy shit i've been waiting for this keyboard for 6 years.

tech city what wrist rest was that link? plz

porn

does the software also work in linux? Also, they should have put PBT keycaps on it for that price.

What wrist rest would you recommend?

I don't need the RGB I'm just getting the realforce 87U

Gotta love Topre switches. My first Topre board is a HHKB Pro 2, and I still use it almost daily.

Is this keyboard on 1.5mm comparable with a cherry mx red in gaming performance? Are the keys slightly heavier in feel in comparison? What if you play fast paced games where double tapping/triple tapping plus transitions/shifts are needed from key to key? Would this still be very good for such cases? But as far as typing experience go, I can care less what keyboard I use for typing since I can type at least 100 wpm on any keyboard, although a lot faster than just 100 wpm on higher quality keyboards if the keys are positioned right! I've been researching this keyboard for a month now and I've been very tempted to give it a try Q_Q! I was stuck between Corsair k95 platinum, Ducky Shine 6, or this! This one might actually do well with the actuation point changer though which can give me a variety of benefits all at once but I am not too sure about how good topre switches are... I heard they're bad for faster games where you actually need to apply tech cancels and the such, oh and controllers will NOT be able to handle the transition of techs I do on a keyboard for the games I play since you end up paying in precision and flexibility just to be able to do some basics "easier". The switch that has come closest to performing my best thus far was cherry mx reds out of all the switches I've tested and own (cherry mx brown and cherry mx blue). My cherry mx red keyboard which was a corsair strafe rgb was very low quality in my eyes unlike the hype that all my friends were giving it, to be honest. The switches themselves were actually good though when it comes to performance! But yeah, sorry for the rant, I just thought that if I share more detail on my experience with switches so far and what I need out of a keyboard, I figured that you might be able to give me a better more accurate reply! ^^

just another dust collecting design

Bought a topre knockoff with 30g switches from aliexpress. Hope it doesn't fall apart on its way here.

just bought it yesterday, and i got to be honest. compare to the corsair keyboard which i p[previously owned, i think the price is relatively reasonable.

keys have a sans serif font*

where do I get some new keycaps for these, cuz I heard lot of bad things bout poor quality keykaps

Does the software work in Linux?

They use gaming to overprice keyboards.... Rather buy a HHKB

I bought a novatouch keyboard and it didnt really live up to my expectations. I came from the incredibly tactile mod m switches which are also heavier. Topre to me, at these lower weights, 45g jsut doesnt compare to zealios or other custom mx switches today.

I stayed all the way for the bloopers at the end.

Would o rings work with this keyboard?

thanks for the review, just wondering does the keyboard has on-board memory? like does the setting profile remains after you close the app?

TYI: You can buy a 1981 IBM F XT capacitve switch, buckling spring keyboard, that is outstanding in its perfofmance, and certainly far superior to the one you demonstrated, in terms of build quality. So go ahead. Knock yourselves out. Sitll many on ebay, and several layouts and model years. You can buy simple converters, to make it USB compatible.

Siglemic is #1 PogChamp

Why are the keycaps doubleshot ABS? I prefer PBT on the outside layer.

overpriced garbage i got real meachanical keyboard RGB around 35$ name is LESHP

I am using a cherry mx blue Filco board and I absolutely miss my Topre Realforce 104UB the switches were the best I have ever typed on and was amazing for gaming. I sold it to someone who was begging me for it so eventually, I gotta buy a new one but will probably go with a 60% or TKL.

It’s nice but a little too loud on the upstroke

Anyway to use this with Mac OS?

Great review man, I just bought one :) I tried the Mx Cherry's (Brown + Blue and Red) never liked any of them. My brother has a Leopold 660C which use Topre switches, hands down its the best keyboard I've ever tried.

looks and sounds cheap and is more expensive than a corsair k95 at full price

what

either way if it feels as good as you say theres other keyboards with topre switches that are at a more tolerable price

LMAO
Topre: The world's most expensive RUBBER DOMES

I dont change topre anymore... I had two HHKB, and now im sitting with a Realforce 104UG, one you go thock you never go back. Doesnt rhymes as it should, but i promise its like that.

日本の製品を使ってくれてありがとう！

Hey not sure if you are going to see this comment but how come you don't hunt for topre boards while you're in japan? you could probably make some money of it and find some more that you like
