I sold my das so I currently only have a 105 Topre and a Customizer. I will get the Realforce 88 as soon as it's available at keyboardco though.

The RF with the colored caps looks like an old Atart 2600 game.

Are they really supposed to be that deep red? In that case those colors are just way off. I always thought those were some custom made keys.

What I didn't notice about this game when I was a kid was how this game is basically two cocks shooting on faces. Here I was, all of about 7 years old or so, thinking I was shooting guns at targets.
