Realforce87 10th Anniversary Model

[litster]

LOL! Haha! Please tell that to my wife. My spousal approval rating has gone down dramatically.

Thanks for posting the news here. I didn't know about this new keyboard before I read about it here on this thread. Unfortunately they changed out the yellow control keycaps. Now pre-orders only get the green shifts and blue alts plus some random colour topre keycaps.

No new keyboard for me today. It is a "bank" holiday today and USPS is on vacation. But why do I need to go to work and my kids need to go to school today?

Kids are out of school today, but teachers still need to report. Unfortunately, I am not a kid.

Received my new keyboard today. Much lower key than my 87U with yellow keycaps. kant sent me a lollipop as well.







The Leopold keycap puller looks to be a better one than what comes with Filco keyboards. Wish the yellow control keycaps were included.

I think I like it the way it is more, without the extra colored key caps spoiling the look.

A Family portrait of my 87U keyboards. The new 10 yr anniversary edition's case (model number 87UD) is indeed different that the regular 87UB case. 87UD is more like a very dark blue.



It is very easy to open up Realforce keyboard cases. So I swapped the top cases around. The white/beige keycaps look very nice with a black body. The grey/blue combo looks good with white body as well. Yellow keycaps don't work with white body.

Amazing pics!

I like your floor better than Webwits too. Nothing like North American Oak.

(sorry Webwit for stealing both your pic AND your camo joke)

[litster]

Thanks Ripster. I think I will keep the white/beige keys in the dark shell and the blue/grey keys in the white shell for a few days to see if I would like them even more. And i am now thinking about getting some larger backdrops for shots.

[ripster]

I only use my white backdrops because of lego.

Otherwise I kinda like your floor.

[webwit]

Admittedly my floor is ugly plastic, but it's better with cats.

That blue/grey key colour scheme is nice. Seems they learned from the best.



Ok, other way around, but still!

My 10th Anniversary arrived earlier this week . One more to add to my realforce collection.



I think I prefer it with the white case though..

Fair price as well.

Topre announced another version of this board for Japanese Market.
89key layout and the case has a label in the top right corner to indicate 10th year anniversary unlike the one from Leopold.

JIS is not a pretty layout.

[002]

Yes JIS is crap - I'm used to it now but it's still rubbish.
News is news though; good or bad

For me what completely ruins the keyboard are those spaces without keycaps making the keyboard 89 keys instead of 91 keys. They're not like the Realforce 106 that is part of the shell:



Those holes seem like those Access-IS MX keys that are completely flat to fill switches you're not using.

[Jim66]

Yeah, I was going to mention that, that's what ruins it for me too.
